REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
This illustration is based on RHD model
METER ASSEMBLY
Removal
1. Meter Cluster Assembly
Refer to the removal steps of “INSTRUMENT PANEL” in
Section 10 “CAB”
2. Meter Assembly
Remove three screws of the meter assembly.
Disconnect the meter connectors.
Installation
Follow the removal procedure in the reverse order to install the
meter.
Pay close attention to the important points mentioned in the
following paragraphs.
Connector
Be absolutely sure that the meter connectors are securely
connected.
This will prevent a poor contact and an open circuit.
Wire Harness
Do not pinch the wire harness between the cluster and the
meter hood during the meter assembly installation procedure.
Wire damage will result.
