WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable and wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to follow these instructions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE:
Take the proper precautions to protect the front face of the center bezel from cosmetic damage during this procedure.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.
- Remove the center bezel (1) from the instrument panel and place it on a workbench. Refer to BEZEL, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, REMOVAL
.
- Using Trim Stck (special tool #C-4755, Trim Stick) or equivalent, carefully disengage the plastic retaining clips (1) that secure each air outlet to the center bezel.
