1 General Description
1.1 General Information
The instrument panel houses the instrum ent cluster within a hood, while the large centre fascia, which integrates with the
floor console, houses compon ents such as the double DIN sized audio system, controls for electron ic climate control,
centre vent outlets and cup-holders.
The soft-touch instrument panel pad is attached to a dash panel carrier. Several brackets 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. 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 ope ned to provide access to the fuse and relay panel.
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.
A large storage compartment with leather trimmed 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.
The console also incl udes power side window and auxiliary switches and a mobile phone storage compartment. An air
duct is fitted to the underside of the console, which provi des ventilation to the rear seat passengers through the rear air
outlet housing at the end of the console.
A latch clip is fitted to the floor console armrest assembly.
Refer to Figure 1A3 – 1 for an illustration of the consol e components and Figure 1A3 – 2 for the instrument panel
components. Note that these diagrams do not show switches or electrical compo nents.
