Non-Hybrid Vehicle

The center tunnel is higher on an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle, creating the need for a shorter cushion foam pad. Make sure when installing a new cushion foam pad, the correct part is being installed.

Hybrid Vehicle

The cushion has a 2-piece foam pad to allow for traction battery ventilation. Make sure when installing a new cushion the correct hard and soft foam pads are being installed.
