Turn off the ignition and remove the ground wire from the battery.
Attention
- When disconnecting the wires from the battery terminals, the memory units of the control units erase the data on the recorded faults, so before disconnecting the wires, you must contact a workshop to recall the faults recorded in the memory. After connecting the wires to the battery terminals, it is necessary to activate and reprogram the electric windows, as well as the position of the rear-view mirrors and seats.
- If the car has a radio receiver with a code, then before disconnecting the wires from the terminals from the battery, check that there is a code to reactivate the receiver. Otherwise, the radio receiver can only be put into operation at a specialized station.
Insulate the wire connected to the negative battery terminal to avoid accidental connection of the wire.
Move the steering wheel all the way towards you and up and secure it in this position.
Turn the steering wheel 90° from the center position, with the wheel spokes vertical.
From the back of the steering wheel, use a Torx screwdriver to turn the bolts 90°, which will release the locking hooks (7, Fig. 9.1) airbags.
