Video tutorial

The video illustrates which bulb is needed for the lighting of the heating controls. First, unscrew the two screws located at the bottom of the speedometer bezel.

Then, pull the dashboard outwards to unclip it. To extract the buttons, insert a very thin flat-head screwdriver beside the button, as shown in the video, with the hazard button. Then, grasp the knobs for adjusting the heating system and pull them out. At this point, you can remove the clip-on trim of the controls by prying it off first from one side and then the other.

Next, in the centre, you can extract the bayonet bulb using pliers and caution. To remove the rest of the dashboard, under the ashtray, you need to unscrew two screws, and you will find another two after it has been removed, as shown in the guide; the last screw is located just below the heating controls, at the top of the frame where the radio is housed.
