IMPORTANT
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.
REMINDER: in this case, only qualified, trained
staff can carry out this operation.
Fit a block between the automatic transmission
and the left hand sub-frame.
Remove the mounting nut for the rubber
mounting pad on the front left hand side member
mounting.
Using a copper hammer, tap the stud to release it
from the suspended mounting on the left hand
side.
