Use gloves to avoid damage and getting fingerprints on the glass surface and meter surfaces.
Do not apply an excessive force on the printed circuit.
Do not drop or otherwise apply impact.
Connect the connectors securely during reassembly.
After reassembly, make sure that each component operates normally.
When the combination meter assembly has been replaced, be sure to perform the following operations.
- For models without the keyless access with push button start except for C0 and C5, be sure to perform the registration of immobilizer system. For detailed operation procedure, refer to "Type B" described in "REGISTRATION MANUAL FOR IMMOBILIZER".
