Control devices — removal and installation (Renault Scenic 1)

All control devices and signal lights of the car are combined into a single unit - the instrument cluster (instrument panel). The instrument panel must be removed to replace, for example, a burnt-out instrument panel light bulb. The instrument panel is non-disassemblable.

Attention! If one of the instruments on the dashboard fails, the dashboard is removed and replaced as a set with a new one. Only the transparent plastic insert (glass) of the dashboard can be replaced separately.

Removal

1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. Caution! This will erase some data from the memory of the storage devices, for example, the access code that prevents unauthorized use of the radio is erased. Before disconnecting the battery, read the instructions in Chapter "Removal and installation the battery".
