Installation
Turn on the ignition. Close the doors. Connect the (-) terminal to the battery. Removal and installation of the contact ring assembly must be carried out with the steering wheel in the middle position (the front wheels are in a position corresponding to straight-line movement). The return ring with contact ring, as a new part, is fixed in the middle position with a plastic clamp or a cut-off ring. For vehicles with an ESP sensor in the return ring with contact ring, it is necessary to align the ESP sensor.
