HOUSING-AIR INLET

NOTE: LHD model shown in illustrations. RHD model similar.





NOTE: If a rubber seal on the recirculation air-door is deformed or damaged, the air-door must be replaced.

1. Install the recirculation-air door (3) into the two halves of the air inlet housing (6 and 7). Align the air door pivot shaft with the holes in the housing halves.
2. Carefully install the two halves of the air inlet housing together and engage the three plastic retaining tabs. Make sure the retaining tabs are fully engaged.
3. Position the recirculation door actuator (4) to the air inlet housing. Make sure the actuator output shaft is properly aligned to the recirculation door pivot shaft. If necessary, rotate the actuator slightly to engage the splines on the output shaft with those in the pivot shaft.
4. Install the two screws (5) that secure the recirculation door actuator to the air inlet housing. Tighten the screws to 1.2 Nm (10 in lbs.).

NOTE: If the foam seal on top of the air inlet housing is deformed or damaged, it must be replaced.

5. Inspect the foam seal (1), especially along the parting line (2) of the two halves of the air inlet housing. Replace the seal if it is deformed or damaged.




6. Install the air inlet housing (3) onto the HVAC housing (2) HVAC Housing - Installation.
7. Install the HVAC housing assembly HVAC Housing - Installation.
