Dismantling Dashboard and Navigator

Model: Kia Sportage SL, MK 3 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Dashboard

Using a screwdriver, lift the plastic caps under the dashboard to access the screws, then unscrew them. Use a plastic tool to avoid marking the bodywork and lever in the appropriate notches to release the retaining springs of the left side panel of the dashboard and remove it. Also unscrew the other dashboard screw, then carefully pull the entire instrument cluster outward, being mindful of the connected cables. Disconnect the rear connections to free the instruments, then remove the instruments. To reassemble, follow the same steps in reverse.
