        Tech Tips

        Position the control knob sub-assembly so that the knobs face upwards and, while holding the front air conditioning panel sub-assembly parallel to the control knob sub-assembly, place the front air conditioning panel sub-assembly onto the control knob sub-assembly to install it.

        Note


        • Be sure not to allow skin oils, grease, foreign matter, etc. to adhere to the parts and be sure not to damage the parts.

        • When installing the control knob sub-assembly and No. 1 center cluster module circuit sub-assembly to the front air conditioning panel sub-assembly, make sure that the ribs are properly engaged as shown in the illustration.

        • Do not apply excessive force to the knobs when installing the control knob sub-assembly as the knobs break easily.

        • Do not touch any IC, circuit trace or circuit element without taking measures to prevent electrostatic discharge.

      2. Install the 6 screws.
