INSTALLATION

NOTE: Make sure to properly connect the vacuum harness to the A/C-heater control.

2. Adjust the mode and temperature control cables. Refer to the Adjustment Procedure.
3. Install the A/C-heater control to the instrument panel. Tighten the screws to 2 N.m (17 in.lbs.).
4. Install the center air duct.
