Installation:
Armrest is secured in areas (A and C) with nuts (2).
Because of reduced height and risk of damage to acoustic
insulation, locking washers (3) are used in area (B).
After armrest is secured, pins (1) must be sawn off to
measurement (X) (exception: third, ninth and eleventh pins from
front).
Important!
Do not snip off pins (1) with side cutters as this will deform the
pins so that the retaining elements may work loose.

off, place suitable shim on retaining elements (2 and 3)
and saw off pins (1) above shim.
Measurement (X) = 2 mm
