Installation Features
Before installing airbags, it is recommended to perform a check using a diagnostic device.
The installation of the rotating contact joint is carried out as follows.
1. Align the marks. This should be done as accurately as possible for the driver's safety during subsequent use of the vehicle. Turn the spring clockwise until it stops. Then turn it counterclockwise approximately 3.75 turns until the marks align.
2. Turn the steering wheel so that the wheels are as straight as possible, then install the spring onto the column switch.
Before installing the steering wheel and driver air bag module, turn the wheels straight forward. After securing the steering wheel, turn it in both directions and make sure it rotates normally.

After installing and connecting the battery, perform a simple check.
Turn on the ignition and watch the SRS indicator: if it lights up for about 7 seconds and goes out, then the system is OK; otherwise there are problems in the system.
