Description and Operation
Fascia

The one-piece slush-moulded fascia has an injection-moulded ar mature and incorporates a steel transverse reinforcing rail.
Fascia side support brackets pre-set to th e BIW, determine fascia fore and aft, and height position s and a bush installed in a
BIW bracket centrally positioned on the upper fascia panel, similarly determines the correct transverse location of a fascia
dowel. These mountings together with access panels at each en d of the fascia and brackets at the top and sides of the BIW
tunnel, facilitate fascia removal and instal lation without the necessity for special tools or an alignment procedure. The fasci a
houses the main instrument panel, pass enger air bag module glovebox, air conditioning outlet vents and a centrally
mounted analogue clock, all of which can be readily removed wi thout disturbing the fascia. The fascia harness is located in
the nose of the fascia assembly to facilitate easy installati on in vehicle. The fascia must be removed from the vehicle to
access the harness.
Centre Console
The centre console is an injection moulded armature trimmed in matching ambla or leather with a wood veneer top finisher.
An iluminated smoker's compendium with pr ess and release lid is fitted at the rear of the 'J' gate. The centre section of the
console forms a deep stowage box with rear hinged lid which is padded to form a central arm rest. A hinged cup holder is
incorporated in the front end of the stowage box lid. A colour-keyed 'J' gate finisher surmounts the veneer top finisher and
the 'SPORT' mode and cruise control 'ON/OFF' selector switches are situated immediately to the rear of the 'J' gate. The rear
of the standard centre console houses a re ar air distribution grill and controls. On Daimler and 'Super 8' models, the centre
