Instrument Panel, Removing And Installing: Installing
Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:
Follow the allocation of the airbag to the instrument panel.
-- Set the instrument panel in place and guide the electrical harness connectors for Sunlight Photo Sensor -G107- and speaker through the openings in the instrument panel.
-- Check if there is a rubber buffer -3- on the clamp -2- on the lower windshield frame.
-- When sliding the instrument panel -1- on, make sure the clips engage in the box-shaped profiles on the bottom side of the instrument panel.
- Follow all Safety Precautions when working with pyrotechnic components. Refer to PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS .
- Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, connecting the connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". This can be done by touching the door striker, for example.
Make sure the connectors are installed correctly and are secure.
-- Align the instrument panel with the door trim panels and tighten the screws.
Ignition must be on when connecting battery. If pyrotechnic components (for example, airbag, belt tensioner) are not repaired correctly, they may deploy unintentionally after connecting battery. There must not be anyone inside the vehicle when connecting the battery.
When working on vehicles with the ignition already switched on or that are ready to drive there is a danger of the engine starting unexpectedly and of being poisoned by gas in enclosed areas. Risk of body parts and/or clothing being clamped or pulled.
Perform the following before switching on the ignition:
- Move the selector lever into P.
- Activate the parking brake
- Turn off the ignition.
- Open the hood
- Connect Battery Charger VAS5095A to the battery jump start terminal.
- Turn on the ignition.
-- Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition turned on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75- indicates a fault, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again.
