Notes on Packaging

Ensure the front screen area is properly protected. The most vulnerable point is the top area vacated by the air conditioning buttons - pack this area well with newspaper. Take care in positioning this part in the box diagonally.

To continue using your vehicle without the EMV in place simply reconnect the 2 control knobs and hazard switch to the main centre facia and reconnect the air conditioning buttons to the connector behind the glove box area.
