Gently pull the dashboard.
Release the wiring retaining clips.
Disconnect:
- the headlight remote adjustment control
connector and hazard warning light connector,
- the remaining connectors (example : decoder
unit).
Remove the dashboard.REFITTING
When refitting, it is important to ensure the va-
rious wires are correctly routed and have suffi-
cient space so that the dashboard can be correctly
centred.
SPECIAL NOTES FOR REFITTING THE STEERING
WHEEL WITH AIRBAG
Ensure the rotary switch under the steering wheel
is correctly positioned.
If there is any doubt that this switch is correctly
centred follow the method for centring described
in section 88 "driver’s airbag".
Renew the steering wheel bolt each time it is re-
moved (pre-bonded bolt) for a steering wheel
with airbag.
Observe the correct tightening torque (4.5
daN.m).
IMPORTANT
Before reconnecting the driver’s airbag cushion,
check to see if the system is operating correctly as
follows:
•check the airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is illuminated when the
ignition is on,
•connect a dummy ignition module to the
driver’s airbag connector and check that the
warning light extinguishes,
•switch the ignition off, connect the airbag
cushion in place of the dummy ignition module
and secure the cushion to the steering wheel,
•switch the ignition on. Check the warning light
illuminates for three seconds when the ignition
is switched on then extinguishes and remains
extinguished.
If the warning light does not operate exactly as
described above, refer to the fault finding section
and test the system using the XRBAG (Elé. 1288)
(see section 88).

REMOVAL - REFITTING
Disconnect the battery and set the wheels
straight.
Remove the steering wheel and the two half cow-
lings (for vehicles with an airbag, refer to the re-
moval of the rotary switch on the following page
or section 88 for special notes on removing the
steering wheel).
Special notes for vehicles with an airbag
Before removing the assembly, the position of the
rotary switch under the steering wheel must be
noted:
- by ensuring that the wheels are straight on re-
moval so that the strip may be positioned in the
centre,
- by immobilising the rotary switch rotor using
adhesive tape.
Slacken the bolt (C) then sharply tap the screwdri-
ver to release the cone.

Special notes for refitting
Fit the mounting with its components, connect
the various connectors and push the assembly
back against the steering column.
Continue refitting and do not lock bolt (C) until
the two half cowlings are refitted, so that the
stalks may be aligned with the dashboard and the
instrument panel.
This operation is made easier by a cut-out section
giving access to bolt (C) in the lower half cowling.
For vehicles with an airbag, observe the re-
commendations in the section " Special notes for
the rotary switch under the steering wheel" on
the following page or section 88 (driver’s airbag).

Remote control for door locking
88
Ignition off:
1.Press and hold the central door locking button
for a few seconds until the doors lock and un-
lock.
From this moment, the operator has 10 se-
conds to carry out the next operation.
NOTE: The 10 seconds are shown by the illu-
mination of the red immobiliser warning light
(if fitted) and bargraph 17 LH on the XR25
(code
D56, fiche n° 56).
2.Press the remote control twice (the doors lock
and unlock and the red warning light extin-
guishes, if fitted).
NOTE : If both remote controls (if fitted) are
desynchronised, two resynchronisation proce-
dures will have to be carried out (one for each
remote control).
IMPORTANT: To ensure that the infrared code
is correctly transmitted it is essential to direct
the transmitter correctly towards the receiver.
If the procedure fails it will be necessary to
restart from the beginning (infrared remote
control only).
3.The procedure is complete - check that the
doors lock correctly.
Removal - Refitting
The dashboard must be partially removed to re-
move the decoder unit.
Remove:
- the steering wheel with the wheels straight,
- the half cowlings under the steering wheel,
- the knee protector under the steering column,
- the lights and wiper controls,
- the instrument panel surround,
- the instrument panel,
- the ashtray, its mounting and the two dash-
board mounting bolts on the heating unit,
- the trim at the bottom of the dashboard on the
driver’s side,
- the two speaker grilles on the dashboard,
- the dashboard mountings.

The decoder unit is located in the left hand side of
the dashboard (A).

REMOTE CONTROL RECEIVER
This is located near to the courtesy light.
It receives the remote control code and transmits
it to the decoder unit. Its function is to amplify the
signal.
The remote control receiver is replaced indepen-
dently of the transmitter and the decoder unit (it
is not coded).

Replacement
For vehicles fitted with an immobiliser, refer to
section 82 (programming procedure). The decoder
unit is common to the immobiliser.
For vehicles without an immobiliser, carry out a
resynchronisation operation.
NOTE : Fault finding for the remote control sys-
tem may be carried out using the XR25 (fault fin-
ding fiche n° 56).
Move the dashboard as far back as possible, dis-
connect the decoder unit and remove the two
mounting bolts (B) using a small ratchet fitted
with a Torx 20 socket.

Airbags and seat belt pretensioners
GENERAL

IMPORTANT : all work on the airbag and
pretensioner systems must be carried out by
qualified personnel who have received the proper
training.
There are 3 safety systems which supplement the
seat belt.
If a frontal impact is sufficiently strong, the elec-
tronic unit controlling these systems triggers:
•The pretensioners which restrict the seat belts
for the front seats so that they are pressed
against the body.
•The airbag cushion which inflates from the
centre of the steering wheel to protect the
driver’s head.
•The airbag module which inflates from the
dashboard to protect the front passenger’s
head.
