DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INSTRUMENT PANEL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The instrument panel serves as the command cen-
ter of the vehicle, which necessarily makes it a very
complex unit. The instrument panel is designed to
house the controls and monitors for standard and
optional powertrains, climate control systems, audio
systems, lighting systems, safety systems and many
other comfort or convenience items. The instrument
panel is also designed so that all of the various con-
trols can be safely reached and the monitors can be
easily viewed by the vehicle operator when driving,
while still allowing relative ease of access to each of
these items for service. See the owner's manual in
the vehicle glove box for more information on the fea-
tures, use and operation of all of the instrument
panel components and systems.
This group is responsible for covering service infor-
mation for the vehicle instrument panel systems.
However, complete service information coverage for
all of the systems and components housed in the
instrument panel in a single section of the service
manual would not be practical. Therefore, the service
information for any component will be found in the
group designated to cover the vehicle system that the
component belongs to, even though the component is

mounted on or in the instrument panel. If you cannot
locate a listing for the component or system you are
servicing in the table of contents for this group, or if
you are uncertain as to which vehicle system a com-
ponent belongs to, it is suggested that you refer to
the alphabetical Component and System Index
found at the back of this service manual.
NOTE: This group covers both Left-Hand Drive
(LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this
model. Whenever required and feasible, the RHD
versions of affected vehicle components have been
constructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions.
While most of the illustrations used in this group
represent only the LHD version, the diagnostic and
service procedures outlined can generally be
applied to either version. Exceptions to this rule
have been clearly identified as LHD or RHD, if a
special illustration or procedure is required.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
DESCRIPTION
This instrument panel uses a full-width structural
plastic foundation as its primary support. When the
two primary molded plastic components of this struc-
ture are vibration welded together they provide supe-
rior instrument panel stiffness and integrity to help
