Renault Clio: Dashboard wiring: Removal - Refitting

Renault Clio III (2005-2013) Service Manual / Electrical Equipment / Wiring Harness / Dashboard wiring: Removal - Refitting

LEFT-HAND DRIVE

IMPORTANT

Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and operation recommendations before carrying out any repair (see 88A, Wiring harness, Wiring: Precautions for the repair, 88A-5).

IMPORTANT

To avoid any risk of triggering when working on or near a pyrotechnic component (airbags or pretensioners), lock the airbag computer using the diagnostic tool.
