REMOVAL

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, seat belt tensioner, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (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 could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.

2. Using a trim stick C-4755 or equivalent, from the notch on the bottom, remove the left instrument panel side cover.

3. Remove the left cowl trim panel.

5. Using a trim stick C-4755 or equivalent, disengage the retaining clips that secure the top of the lower driver side instrument panel bezel to the instrument panel.

6. Tilt the top of the lower driver side instrument panel bezel downward and, If equipped, disconnect the wire harness connector (3) from the adjustable pedal switch (2).
