Using a panel removal tool, pry away and unclip the

bottom HVAC panel.

Once loose, disconnect the panel connectors and

place to one side.

Using the panel removal tool again, begin to unclip

the air vent panel. Due care and attention should be

taken around the key port as this area is fragile.
