REMOVAL

WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, 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.

NOTE: The air ducts for the instrument panel and demisters outlets are integral to each other and cannot be serviced separately.

NOTE: Take the proper precautions to protect the face of the instrument panel from cosmetic damage while performing this procedure.
