Installation Notes and Tips

Install the CBS2456 on the steering column using the bolt-on attachment method and verify the connector shape, terminal count, and switch functions before final assembly. Because wiring is not included, reuse the vehicle’s existing harness connection and confirm proper operation of headlights, high beams, fog lights, turn signals, and wiper controls after installation.
