Remove the 4 fixing screws and disconnect the drive inflator module connector.
CAUTION: When carrying a live inflator module, make sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In case of an accidental deployment, the
bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the inflator module by the wires or connector on the underside of the module.
When placing a live inflator module on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up, away from the surface. This is necessary
so that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment.

1. Check to see if the vehicle is in the straight driving condition and turn the rotary section of the SRS coil assembly provided to the upper surface of
the lighting switch (combination switch) counterclockwise fully until it stops.
Then from where it stops, turn it back about 3 rotations to set the alignment marks (5) together before installing the steering wheel.
2. Tighten the steering shaft nut to the specified torque.
Torque: 34 Nm (25 lb.ft)
3. When connecting the double lock type of inflator module connector, insert the connector completely and lock at outside.
Imperfect locking may cause malfunction of SRS system circuit.
