I'm not sure if this feature is fitted on all models.

The lever unscrews on mine.  Is there an aperture in the cowling on the LHS where the lever should be?

Any other pre/Elite owners?

If its pre minifacelift then it won't have it.  Apparently not too difficult to retrofit, but you do need to change column...

minifacelift is Model Year 98, so 1997 is borderline. Does your steering wheel have audio controls?

As I pointed out in another thread, just to clear any confusion you car is a pre mini-facelift

A few days for reference:

Omega '94 - '98 :: pre mini-facelift
Omega '98 - '99 :: mini-facelift
Omega '99 - '03 :: facelift
