NOTE: If the foam seal on the air outlet is deformed or damaged, it must be replaced.

Position the air outlet (2) onto the steering column opening cover or IP base panel (3) and install the four screws (1). Tighten the screws to 2 N.m (17 in. lbs.).
NOTE: Make sure the foam seal on the air outlet is properly positioned into the IP duct to prevent air leaks and excessive noise during A/C-heater operation.
Depending on the outlet being serviced, install the steering column opening cover or the IP base panel. Refer to Body/Instrument Panel/COVER, Steering Column Opening - Installation or Body/Instrument Panel/PANEL, Instrument - Installation .
