Instrument Panel, Removing And Installing: Installing
Install In Reverse Order Of Removal And Note The Following:
Note the allocation of the airbag to the instrument panel.
-- install the instrument panel and guide the connector for Front Information Display Control Head -J685-, Sunlight Photo Sensor -G107- and speaker through the opening in the instrument panel.
-- Check if there is a rubber buffer -3- on the instrument panel mount -2- at the bottom of the windshield frame.
-- When sliding on the instrument panel -1-, make sure the instrument panel mounts engage in the box-shaped profiles on the bottom side of the instrument panel.
- Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
- Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, connecting a connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". For example, this can be done by briefly touching the door striker.
Make sure the connectors are installed all the way and engage audibly.
The ignition must be on when connecting the 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 in the vehicle interior when connecting the battery.
-- Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition switched on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
Repairing pyrotechnic components (for example the airbag and seat belt tensioner) incorrectly increases the risk of injuries due to unintentional deployments when the ignition is switched on.
- If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected - >>indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up<< - the ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.
If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75- indicates a fault, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
