The Electrics, Dashboard and Heater 4 Dashboard Display (replacing bulbs)
12 Citroen XM Internet Reference Version 1.0
3/3/99
On top on the inner side are two little screws. At both sides are 2 screws covered by 2 round plastic
buttons. After removing the 4 screws you have to push the lower side of the instrument house
backwards. It should come loose. Then move the whole shebang in the direction of the windshield.
Replace all bulbs.

Removing the instrument panel
The process is very simple.
On the sides of the cowl that is over the instruments there are two plastic caps which must be removed
with a small screwdriver or the nails.
Under these caps are two screws with 'torx' heads which must next be removed. Now comes the only
tricky bit which is to gently insert a very thin bladed screwdriver or palette knife in the slot where the
base of this cowl meets the front panel of the dash.
This slot is in front of the instruments and is as long as the cowl. Once the slot has been penetrated
without damage to the cowl, it is a simple matter to just lift the cowl upwards and it will pop out
completely. You will then see that the instrument panel is secured with four torx screws.
Release these screws, remove the speedometer cable from behind the speedo by moving the lock ring
back and pulling the cable off.
The instrument panel can now be removed. Bulbs, etc. can easily be replaced as they are twist-off bulbs
and spares are available from Halfords.
