ATTENTION:

• THIS CONSOLE WAS DESIGNED FOR A STOCK OEM VEHICLE, ANY MODIFICATIONS

MADE MAY AFFECT THE FIT INCLUDING: CARPET REMOVAL/CHANGES, LIFT KITS,
SEATS, ETC.

• FREQUENT LUBRICATION IS NECESSARY ON THE LOCKING SYSTEM -

contains an “O” ring seal to protect the interior from dust and water. If this mechanism is not lubricated regularly it will
become difficult to operate and it may not return to its home position preventing the key from operating the lock. If this
happens simply pull up on the pushbutton to manually bring it back to its home position. Lubricate the pushbutton
with a light lubricant such as silicone spray. The pushbutton may have to be periodically disassembled and cleaned.

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

1. IMPORTANT! Make sure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and place stops behind the wheels to prevent it from
rolling. During the installation the vehicle will need to have the emergency brake deactivated, and the 4wd transfer
case, Automatic, and manual transmission placed in neutral.

The pushbutton lock

2. The installation will be much easier if the passenger side and/or drivers side seat(s) are unfastened by removing the
(4) mounting bolts per seat (Slide the seat forward and reverse for access to bolts). Leave the seatbelts and wiring
attached but maneuver the seat to the side making more room for the console removal and installation. The wiring
harness may come unplugged (Especially on the driver side); don’t forget to reattach it when refastening the seats or
the Jeep will beep constantly. If choosing to complete remove one or both seats, the left and right adjuster tracks can
be slid forward/backward independently and the headrest removed in order to make seat removal easier.

3. Place the 4wd transfer case shifter in 4HI or Neutral and remove the shifter knob. Removal of the knob is best
achieved by gripping with both hands and pulling it straight off with moderate force. It is not screwed on, do not try to
twist and be careful what is behind you because when it comes off you may fly backwards.
