REMOVAL

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-BAGS, DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, DRIVER AIRBAG, PASSENGER AIRBAG, SEAT BELT TENSIONER, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the cluster bezel from the instrument panel. (Refer to BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER BEZEL - REMOVAL).

1. Position the instrument cluster to the instrument panel by inserting the top of the instrument cluster between the steering wheel and the top of the instrument panel, then rolling the bottom of the cluster downward and forward.
2. Align the instrument cluster with the cluster opening in the instrument panel and push the cluster firmly and evenly into place. The instrument panel wire harness has two self-docking connectors that will be automatically aligned with, and connected to the connector receptacles on the back of the cluster housing when the cluster is properly installed in the instrument panel.
3. Install and tighten the four screws that secure the instrument cluster to the instrument panel structural support (Fig. 5). Tighten the screws to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.).
4. Reinstall the cluster bezel onto the instrument panel. (Refer to BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER BEZEL - INSTALLATION).
