IMPORTANT: If this is the initial installation of the I/P compartment door lock, you must first remove the factory installed cylinder plug by depressing the locking tab and pushing the plug out of the door.

IMPORTANT: When you insert the key into a properly coded lock cylinder, all of the tumblers except the retainer cylinder will be flush with the lock cylinder.

Insert the key into the lock cylinder.
