If you follow the lines outlining it and dont see any screws more than likely you can pop it off.
Now adays every thing in these new vehicals you can pop stuff off just do it slowly not to
break any tabs. That is to say their isnt a housing around the button you can pop of instead.

i would first try using an alcohol based cleaner, no water. That was it will evaporate, be carefull as some on the market will stain the plastic. Secondly, pop the instrument panel and come at it from behind. there should be a disconnect on the buttom. Then you could really get in a soak it down to get at the sugar/cream residue, and not worry about shorting anything.

Why not just take it in for warranty? GM put both of those buttons to near the cup holders so should fix it for free.

Maybe heat it up good with a hair dryer, just don't melt it.

Does anyone know the outcome of this issue? I have the same problem right now.

Reviving this post so I do not need to create another thread, and in hopes I can get some input. I just bought a used Terrain SLE 2.4., and I want to disable ECO mode but the ECO button was completely stuck. Possibly due to spilled coffee as well. I was able to remove the cap and clean it out a little bit, and get it to move. Although, I am unable to turn it off. Does this require me to go to the dealer to get it fixed? I wanted to try and avoid that but that is my last resort. Any help is appreciated.

Once you have the cap off, I would spray it with some Electrical Contact Cleaner, or Isopropal Rubbing Alcohol. YOu may want to try it out on an inconspicuous place first...just in case.

I'm having the same issue but I was able to get my button out and clean it all up. Now the problem is that it's stuck in eco mode and I can't get it to come out of eco mode. Help!
