1. Turn the clockspring clockwise fully.
2. Turn the clockspring anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise) approx. 3/4 turns to align the mating marks.
3. Check that the white or yellow roller can be seen from the window for checking the neutral point when the mating marks are aligned.
NOTE: If the white or yellow roller cannot be seen or black roller can be seen, the neutral point is not aligned correctly.
4. Install the clockspring to the column switch.
CAUTION: Ensure that the clock spring's mating marks are properly aligned. If not, the steering wheel may not rotate completely
during a turn, or the flat cable in the clock spring could be damaged. This would prevent normal SRS operation and possibly cause
serious injury to the driver.
