–  Pull off flex shaft -1- with sudden motion from the positioning unit of the air distribution flaps -2-.
Install
The flex shaft can only be installed in one way on the positioning unit and on the heater control.
When installing, however, the positioning unit and the rotary knob of the heater control must be in a certain position relatively to each other, otherwise this will result in malfunctions.
–  Fit flex shaft onto positioning unit of air distribution flaps and lock in place.
–  Use the flex shaft to move the defrost flap into vertical position (open).
–  Fit heater control onto adapter and set air distribution knob to „Defrost“.
–  In this position, insert flex shaft into heater control and lock in place.
–  Position heater control onto the adapter.
  Note
t  In this position, insert flex shaft into control and lock in place. f the dash panel is installed and the position of the defrost flap is not visible, run fresh air blower at maximum speed.
t  If air also flows out of the defrost vent in the „defrost“ position and not out of the footwell vents, the flex shaft is correctly installed. If this is not the case, remove the flex shaft from the heater control and turn the rotary knob 1/2 turn (180°). Then reinsert the flex shaft. Repeat check.
