Removing
- Before removing the instrument panel, study the safety precautions for servicing the elements of the SRS additional security system. Set the front wheels to straight ahead and turn off the ignition. Otherwise, the coiled wire may be damaged and the SRS additional safety system may be disabled. Doing so may cause the airbag to deploy unintentionally, resulting in personal injury.
- Removal and installation of the instrument panel are operations that must be carried out carefully. When removing, make sure that the electrical connectors are completely disconnected. When reinstalling, make sure the wiring harnesses are properly routed and secured.
