Removal
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery and cover terminal or battery.
2. Remove driver's airbag unit. For this purpose, loosen the two fastening screws with a screwdriver for internal Torx T 30. Disconnect plug
connection at airbag unit and at steering wheel (for horn).
Note!
^
Replace fastening screws whenever they have been loosened. The airbag unit must always be set down so that the cushioned side faces
upwards. If removed for an extended period, the airbag unit must be kept in a locked place. Observe the safety regulations.
3. Loosen hexagon nut and remove together with spring washer.
4. Turn wheels to straight-ahead position. Then mark the position of the steering wheel with respect to the steering shaft (for refitting). Remove
steering wheel (in straight-ahead position).
Note!
^
To prevent unintended rotation of the contact unit (KE) when the steering wheel has been removed, the contact unit locks itself when the
steering wheel is pulled back. Likewise, the contact unit unlocks automatically when the steering wheel is refitted.
