Install
  Note
t  The flex shafts can only be installed in one way on the positioning units and on the heater control.
t  When installing, however, the positioning units and the rotary knobs of the controls must be in a certain position relatively to each other, otherwise this will result in malfunctions.
Installing flex shaft for positioning unit of air distribution flaps
–  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“).
–  Set air distribution knob on heater control to „defrost“.
–  In this position, insert flex shafts into control and lock in place.
  Note
t  If the dash panel is installed and the position of the defrost flap is not visible, insert flex shaft into heater control and lock in place. 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, detach flex shaft from the control, turn rotary knob 1/2 a turn (180°) and fit on flex shaft again. Repeat check.
Installing flex shaft for positioning unit of temperature flap
–  Fit flex shaft onto positioning unit of temperature flap and lock in place.
–  Use the flex shaft to turn positioning unit for temperature flap fully to the right.
–  Turn temperature knob on the heater control fully to the left „cold“.
–  In this position, insert flex shaft into heater control and lock in place.
–  Check whether it is possible to easily turn the temperature knob from „cold“ to „warm“.
