Emergency Park Release
A SEARCH and another perusal through the STICKY section didn't find this answer for me...
I found references to the Emergency Park Release (EPR) in several spots in the Service Manual (page 12,933 of the Service Manual)
The EPR appears to be a cable-operated release of the PARK mechanism (useful if you need to transport/flatbed the car). Trouble is, I can't access it.
In the cubby between the seats (where the CD player is, on my '14), I see the plastic cover, but it won't come off readily without a tool. Do I need to pry with great vigor? I don't want to knacker the plastic piece if I'm wrong.

Send me your quarter? LOL, I'll make this automotive 'investment' pay off yet! 
Ah-HA! Thank you. 
These line up with the metal clips that secure the cover in place. Lifting there with a smallish screwdriver lifted the cover without bending/cracking it. 
Applying a thin layer of grease to the clips' 'mating areas' has made the grip less tenacious, and will reduce the force needed to release the cover (should I need to) the next time.
Thanks All!
