WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-BAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, SEAT BELT TENSIONER, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE

SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN

STANDARD PROCEDURE - GLOVE BOX ROLL DOWN
The glove box on this model can be rolled down beyond the integral stops in order to access many components for service, without complete glove box
removal.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Unlatch and open the glove box.
3. Locate the two rubber stop bumpers on the sides of the instrument panel glove box opening.

4. Depress both sides of the glove box bin inwards far enough so that the glove box stops that are integral to each side of the bin can be moved past
the rubber stop bumpers (Fig. 5).
5. Holding the sides of the glove box bin depressed, roll the glove box downward until the stops molded into the sides of the glove box bin are
beyond the rubber stop bumpers, then release the sides of the glove box bin.
6. Reverse the roll down procedure to roll the glove box back up into the instrument panel.
REMOVAL
