Installation of the instrument panel starts by disconnecting the battery's negative cable, let the air bag system discharge for two minutes and disable the air bag system. Turn the
Steering Wheel all the way until you can see the front wheels facing straight ahead. Begin by mounting the instrument panel to the car and joining the two electric connectors, not forgetting those used for right-hand drive. Use fasteners to secure both sides of the instrument panel and then set the
Glove Box in place and secure the center instrument panel fasteners. First, attach the control head, lighter and the switch bank and after that, set in the instrument panel center bezel. Fasten two bolts to the base of the plastic pedal support and two others to its edge that faces the dash; then, put the electrical connector on the pedal support where it says R on the dash. Only tighten the bolts holding the upper instrument panel when the clips in the center and in between the HVAC duct and instrument panel are engaged. Secure the instrument panel to the body with two bolts, tightening each to 28 Nm (20.5 ft. lbs.), be careful not to break them while fitting the defroster grille clips. Place the defroster grilles, followed by the
Steering Column and tighten the bolts of both items to 6 Nm (55 in. lbs.) and the nuts underneath the lower instrument panel to 30.5 Nm (22.5 ft. lbs.). Put on the right and left cowl side panels, attach the kneeblocker and set in the instrument panel support bracket, tightening with 28 Nm (20.5 ft. lbs.) of nuts. Fit both the floor console and the close-out panels, attaching them using 2.5 Nm (22 in. lbs.) bolts. Snap the A-pillar trim tab on each side into the top cover slot on the instrument panel, align them with the trim molding and lastly, connect the vehicle's negative
Battery Cable to the battery.
