CAUTION
Properly disarm the air bag on vehicles equipped with the SRS system. Failure to do so can cause serious injury. The procedure can be found in Section 6 of this manual under the heading "Supplemental Restraint System''.

  1. Discharge the air bag system, on models equipped. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. On Loyale and 1985–89 sedans, wagons and hatchbacks, remove the tray from under the parking brake lever by prying it up.
  3. Pull the parking brake up and remove the shifter knob (with manual transaxle).
  4. Remove the console cover on XT and Impreza models and disconnect the cigarette lighter. Remove the ventilation control lever knobs. On XT models, remove the front seats.
  5. On the SVX remove the side console panels by pulling them off (they are held in place by clips).
  6. Remove any remaining console trays and covers.
  7. Remove all console retaining screws and remove the console. On all models except the Legacy, the console comes out in one piece, on Legacy models the console comes out in 2 pieces.

    To install:

  8. Install the console in position and install all retaining screws. Install all console covers and boxes. Connect all electrical leads.
  9. Install the seats on the XT models.
  10. Connect the negative battery cable.
