Air Outlet - Removal

REMOVAL

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, then 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 take the proper precautions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.

NOTE: The instrument panel air outlet barrels are retained into the air outlets by a light snap fit.





1. Using a trim stick C-4755 or equivalent, gently pry on the instrument panel air outlet barrel(s) (1) until the barrel retainers release from the pivot shafts of the air outlets (2).
2. Remove the barrel(s) from the instrument panel (3).
