After installing the power steering ECU assembly the technician must connect the instrument panel junction block assembly through a total of 3 nuts with a torque setting of 8.4 Nm (86 kgf-cm, 74 in-lbf). After connecting the instrument panel safety pad, one must continue with the installation of the pad for both pole antenna and glass antenna configurations. The installation follows connect the instrument panel wire assembly after installing the front No. 2 speaker assembly for the LH side and the No. 1 instrument panel speaker panel sub-assembly and then the front No. 2 speaker assembly for the RH side. Put on the No. 2 instrument panel speaker panel sub-assembly followed by the front pillar garnish on the right-hand side and then attach the front door opening trim Weather Strip on the right-hand side. Perform the same installation process on the LH front pillar garnish and then attach the front door opening trim Weather Strip LH. The Smart Key System engine switch must be installed first before adding the front No. 2 console box insert and the front No. 1 console box insert.

The upper console panel sub-assembly and lower instrument panel finish panel sub-assembly for manual and automatic air conditioning systems and the cowl side trim sub-assemblies and front door scuff plates should be installed for both sides. The radio receiver assembly with bracket gets installed without the navigation system or navigation receiver assembly with bracket in case of equipment availability. The heater control assembly with its accessories goes into place for the manual air conditioning system but the automatic air conditioning system receives the air conditioning control assembly. The assembly order includes center instrument cluster finish panel with optional Smart Key System and center instrument panel register combined with combination meter and instrument cluster finish panel. Install the steering column cover following front wheel alignment while using the turn signal switch assembly and its spiral cable sub-assembly. Finish the installation of the steering wheel assembly after adjusting the spiral cable sub-assembly and check the steering wheel center point. Attach the steering pad followed by install of lower No. 2 and No. 3 steering wheel covers. After terminating the cable to the negative battery terminal one must note that some systems need system initialization after reconnection while also checking the steering pad and SRS warning light.
