Instrument Panel Assembly
The instrument panel mounts to the IP reinforcement.
The instrument panel covers the routing of the following components
for appearance purposes:
| • | The heating and air conditioning ducts and outlets |
| • | The electrical components |
The instrument panel can be removed from the vehicle as an assembly
if the panel is being removed to access components beneath it. The following
components would be examples:
| • | The heating and air conditioning components |
| • | The air distribution ducts and outlets that are not accessible
with the instrument panel in the vehicle |
If the instrument panel is being removed to replace the panel, it is
recommended that the components be removed prior to the instrument panel being
removed from the vehicle.
Refer to
Instrument Panel Carrier Replacement
for the removal
and installation procedure for whichever method is used.
