To avoid any risks of destroying the rotary switch
under the steering wheel, comply with the
following instructions:
• Before removing the steering column and the
rack, the steering wheel MUST be immobilised
with the wheels straight using a "steering
wheel locking" tool, throughout the whole
operation.
• Any doubts about whether the steering wheel
is centred means that the steering wheel will
have to be removed so that the centring
method described in section 88 "Airbag" can
be applied.
