TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

The instrument panel assembly houses the main instrument panel, passenger air bag module, glovebox, and air conditioning outlet vents, all of which can be readily removed without disturbing the instrument panel. The instrument panel wiring harness is located behind the instrument panel assembly to facilitate easy installation in vehicle. The instrument panel must be removed from the vehicle to gain access the wiring harness.

The floor console is located between the front seats and, depending upon trim level, consists of the ashtray, cigar lighter and armrest. The optional telephone is incorporated within the center console if the vehicle is equipped with satellite navigation. Alternatively the center section of the console forms a deep stowage box with a secondary cupholder. In both cases the center console utilizes a rear hinged lid which is padded to form a central arm rest. A color-keyed 'J' gate finisher surmounts the veneer top finisher and the 'SPORT' mode and traction control 'ON/OFF' selector switches are situated immediately to the rear of the 'J' gate. Situated in the rear of the center console are further air distribution grills.
