cracks. deformities orrust before installation andreplace asrequired.
• The spiral cablemustbealigned withtheneutral position sinceitsrotations arelimited. Donot
attempt toturn steering wheelorcolumn afterremoval ofsteering gear.
• Handle airbag module carefully. Alwaysplaceitwith thepad side facing upward.
• Donot use oldbolts afterremoving anySRS parts; replace withnewones. Conduct self-diagnosis
