INSTALLATION

1. Attach components until the instrument panel assembly is formed, in the reverse order of removal.

Tightening torque:
Passenger's airbag module: 7.5 N.m (0.76 kgf-m, 5.5 ft-lb)

NOTE:
Method of installing insulator
- Adhesive
Use polyurethane adhesive. When assembling the instrument panel assembly, wait until the adhesive has evaporated to prevent filling of the smell in the compartment.

- Double-sided tape
Use commercial double-sided tape. (Use strong double-sided adhesive tape.)

2. Insert the matching pins on the body side (three locations - one in the center and the remaining two on both sides) into the instrument panel assembly and the beam COMPL - steering.
3. Check that the matching pins are inserted securely, and then route the harness.
4. Secure the instrument panel assembly and the beam COMPL - steering to the vehicle body.
1. Position the instrument panel assembly and the beam COMPL - steering to the vehicle body and tighten the adjuster - clip space.

Preparation tool:
Hexagon wrench: 8 mm (0.31 in)

NOTE: Tighten so that there is no gap between the adjuster portion (h) and the body.

Tightening torque:
Adjuster - clip space: 0.4 - 4 N.m (0.04 - 0.41 kgf-m, 0.3 - 2.95 ft-lb)







2. Temporarily tighten the bolts (a), (b), (c) and (d) of the beam COMPL - steering.







3. Tighten the beam COMPL - steering in the order from (a) to (d) to the specified torque.

Tightening torque:
Beam COMPL - steering: 25 N.m (2.55 kgf-m, 18.4 ft-lb)

5. Install each part in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
- After installing the panel center assembly, check that the air vent grille of the panel center assembly is inserted correctly into the air vent duct.
- When installing the cover - instrument panel side (a), make sure that the body side weather strip - flange front does not come inside the panel COMPL - instrument (b).

- When reusing the tether clip on the upper part of the trim panel - front pillar UPR, check that there is no damage to the tether clip. If the tether clip is damaged, its holding force is reduced and the trim panel - front pillar UPR may come off. Be sure to replace it with a new tether clip.
- Do not reuse the tether clip removed from the upper part of the trim panel - front pillar UPR. Always replace with a new part.
- Check the installation status of the tether clips and install the trim panel - front pillar UPR.
