1 General Description
1.1 General Information
The instrument panel houses the instrum ent cluster within a hood, while the centre fascia, which integrates with the floor
console, houses components such as the double DIN sized audio system, controls for manual or electronic climate
control, centre vent outlets and cup-holders for Level 2 and 3 vehicles.
The soft-touch instrument panel pad is attached to a dash panel carrier. Several br ackets and braces form the backbone
of the instrument panel pad and carrier assembly and support other components such as the instrument panel inflatable
restraint (if fitted) and fuse panel.
All models include an instrum ent panel lower trim plate assembly, fitted between the instrument and dash panels on each
side of the vehicle. Sound-deaden ing foam is applied to the plate which provides an effective reduction in noise
transmittance. Where fitted, the stepwell lamps are mounted to the plate assembly.
The large instrument panel compartment is illuminated and can be locked with a unique key. A large lower trim panel is
fitted on the driver’s side which can be opened to provide access to the instrument panel fuse and relay panel assem bl y.
Two storage compartments are provided, one on the instrument panel at the front of the console and the other at the rear
of the console (except Utility and Regular Cab). As an option, an as htray and cigar lighter assembly replaces the storage
compartments.
A large storage compartment with armrest is incorporated in the floor console. An accessory power socket is provided
within the storage compartment providing a 12-volt power supply when the ignition switch is in ACC or ON positions.
Depending on model level or options fitted, the console ma y also include power side window switches, a cup-holder for
Level 1 vehicles, mobile phone holder for Level 2 and 3 vehicles and au xiliary switches for various functions.
An air duct is fitted to the underside of the floor console on all models exc ept Utility and Regular Cab, which provi des
ventilation to the rear seat passeng ers throu gh the rear air outlet housing at the end of the console. For Utility and
Regular Cab vehicles, a stora ge bin is provided at the rear of the consol e in place of the rear air outlet housing.
A latch clip is fitted to the floor console armrest assembly on vehicles fitted with leather trims.
Refer to Figure 1A3 – 1 and Figure 1A3 – 2 for an illustration of the console components and F ig ure 1A3 – 3 for the
instrument panel components. Note that diagrams do not show switches or electrical components.
