1 General Information

This Section describes the service procedures for the external ornamentation components such as emblems, name

plates, mouldings and finishers.

NOTE

MY2006 Vehicles fitted with a V6 engine do not

have any engine related exterior badging.

MY2005 vehicles only.

Many of the components are affixed to the

vehicle with double-sided tape or urethane

adhesive. It is imperative the correct

materials, as specified in this Section, are

used when reassembling these parts. Use of

materials other than those specified may lead

to premature failure.

To aid in identification and service procedure location, refer to the pictorial index diagrams on the following pages.

1.1 Pictorial Index

The following diagrams provide a quick reference to the correct service procedures for exterior ornamentation
