Control Panel/Control Module Mounting

The "island" design requires a different mounting concept. The control panel/control module is mounted from the rear in the instrument panel. 3 trim rings can be individually replaced from the front. The control panel/control module is secured by 2 side clips and 2 screws at the top.

The IHKS control panel/control module can only be replaced as a complete unit. Individual parts such as rotary knobs cannot be replaced. To remove this, it is first necessary to remove the center fresh air grille outlet and the radio. The control panel/control module can then be removed by pulling down through the service opening in the instrument panel.

NOTE: Particular care must be taken when removing the control panel/control module to avoid scratches on the front of the unit.
