  • Remove the heater resistor unit.

INSTALLATION

  • Refit in the reverse order of removal.
  • Reshape the air duct by working through the air outlet holes and applying pressure by hand perpendicular to the fold.
WARNING

Connect the battery; carry out the necessary relearn procedures (Chapter Battery).

  • Tighten to the following torques:
  • the body reinforcement plate mounting screws (2.1 daN.m),
  • the heater resistor unit mounting bolts (0.2 daN.m),
  • the flexible mount bolts (0.2 daN.m),
  • the battery cover bolts (0.4 daN.m).
