Cars with airbags

When removing the multifunction switch on vehicles equipped with an airbag, be careful and observe the following conditions.

Warning! Do not disassemble any of the SRS components. Disassembling the components may render the SRS inoperative.

Warning: Avoid contact of the airbag with solvents or cleaning agents.

Transport the airbag separately, with the bag facing upward.

Warning: If any SRS component has been dropped or has cracks, dents or other defects in the housing, bracket or connector, replace them with new ones.

Warning: Do not place your hands on the airbag during transport.

Warning: Do not heat the airbag unit to temperatures above 93°C.

Warning: After the airbag has deployed, replace the sensor coil spring with a new one.

Warning! Before installing the air bag sensor coil spring, align the mark and neutral position indicator of the sensor spring with the front wheels in the straight ahead position. If the coil spring mark is not aligned properly, the steering wheel will not be able to turn fully or the coil spring wire will be damaged, preventing the SRS from operating normally.

Execution order

1. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.

Warning: Before servicing the airbag system, make sure that at least 30 seconds have passed after the ignition has been turned off and the negative battery cable has been disconnected.

Warning! The airbag system is equipped with an emergency energy source that allows the airbags to deploy if the wires to the battery are disconnected during an accident.

2. Remove the airbag mounting bolts. Disconnect the horn and airbag connectors and remove the airbag unit.



3. Remove the steering wheel.



4. Remove the driver's knee support.



5. Remove the screws and remove the upper and lower steering column covers.
