Steering in center position

No. 3 is the desired breaking point for bolts in new steering gears. The (new) bolt -2- is inserted into driver -1- and lies with its underside in lug -4-.
This locks the steering gear in the center position. After installation of a new steering gear, the lower part of the bolt is sheared off (at desired breaking
point -3- ) by turning the steering wheel. The upper part of the bolt -2- remains in the driver.

Steering in center position

If necessary, reposition the steering wheel. When doing this, seek the best position.

Mark for the center steering position

Warning: A triggering of the airbag (malfunction in the airbag system) caused by improper work on airbag components cannot be ruled out.
In the case of such a malfunction, an unsuitable steering wheel holder could cause injury or damage.

--> Use only steering wheel holders that do not project into the area of the airbag unit!
--> Observe safety regulations when working with airbag vehicles!

Clamp steering wheel in center position with steering wheel holder -A-. Use only steering wheel holders that do not project into the area of the airbag
unit -B-! If necessary, shorten the guiding rod of the steering wheel holder at top -Arrow-.
