    • Before reinstalling the dashboard, screw the special bolt (h) into the collar bolt (i), and check that they turn together. If they do not turn together, replace the special bolt. (Figure 6)
    • Before reinstalling the dashboard, be sure the collar bolts can be screwed/unscrewed lightly by hand, and then screw them into the fixed space adjusters (k) fully by hand. Do not tighten them with any tools. (Figure 6)
    • Make sure the dashboard fits onto the guide pins correctly.
    • Before tightening the bolts, make sure the wire harnesses are not pinched.
    • Make sure the connectors are plugged in properly.
    • After setting the dashboard in the body, reinstall all of the mounting bolts but do not tighten them.
    • Tighten the special bolts and the bolts to the specified torque.
    • As you tighten the bolts, the collar bolts screw out of the space adjuster until they contact the body. Continue tightening the special bolts to the specified torque.
    • If the bolt threads of the steering hanger beam are stripped, replace the bolts with one-size larger bolts (available as a service part), which are specifically designed to tighten the instrument panel to the specified torque setting.
    • Check for any DTCs that may have been set during repairs, and clear them.
