The Renault Megan 2 dashboard is a collapsible design consisting of a decorative panel and an amplifier
The decorative panel is made of plastic and is attached with screws to the amplifier.
Control devices and controls of the car and the air conditioning and heating system are attached to the panel.
Instrument panel: 1 - block of regulators of the electric corrector for headlights and brightness of the illumination of the instrument cluster; 2 — a combination of devices; 3 - information display; 4 - control unit for the heating (air conditioning) and ventilation system; 5 - the head unit of the audio system; 6 - passenger airbag; 7 - glove box; 8 - lining of the floor tunnel; 9 - central overlay of the instrument panel
Heating air ducts are attached to the decorative panel from the inside.
The front passenger airbag is also installed in the instrument panel.
The amplifier is made of steel reinforcement, to which the steering column, wire harnesses, electrical equipment devices are attached.
Before working on the safety components, the airbag computer must be locked using the diagnostic tool.
At the same time, all ignition circuits are blocked, and the airbag warning light on the instrument panel lights up with a constant light (when the ignition is on).
When the airbag computer is locked, the electric steering lock is also unlocked.
It is strictly forbidden to work with pyrotechnic systems (airbags and seat belt pretensioners) near sources of heat or open flames, as there is a risk of airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploying.
