REMOVAL - REFITTING
Disconnect the battery and set the wheels
straight.
Remove the steering wheel and the two half cow-
lings (for vehicles with an airbag, refer to the re-
moval of the rotary switch on the following page
or section 88 for special notes on removing the
steering wheel).
Special notes for vehicles with an airbag
Before removing the assembly, the position of the
rotary switch under the steering wheel must be
noted:
- by ensuring that the wheels are straight on re-
moval so that the strip may be positioned in the
centre,
- by immobilising the rotary switch rotor using
adhesive tape.
Slacken the bolt (C) then sharply tap the screwdri-
ver to release the cone.

Special notes for refitting
Fit the mounting with its components, connect
the various connectors and push the assembly
back against the steering column.
Continue refitting and do not lock bolt (C) until
the two half cowlings are refitted, so that the
stalks may be aligned with the dashboard and the
instrument panel.
This operation is made easier by a cut-out section
giving access to bolt (C) in the lower half cowling.
For vehicles with an airbag, observe the re-
commendations in the section " Special notes for
the rotary switch under the steering wheel" on
the following page or section 88 (driver’s airbag).

Rotary switch under steering wheel
This makes the electrical connection between the
steering column and the steering wheel.
It consists of a strip of conductor tracks (airbag)
whose length is designed to guarantee 2.5
steering wheel turns (steering lock plus safety
margin) on each side.

- the horn connector, if fitted,
- the steering wheel bolt,
- the steering wheel after setting the wheels
straight,
- the half cowlings (3 bolts).
Disconnect the connector for the rotary switch
and remove it after removing the three mounting
bolts (E).
Before removing the rotary switch its position
must be noted:
- by ensuring that the wheels are straight on re-
moval so that the track may be positioned in
the centre,
- by immobilising the rotary switch rotor using
adhesive tape.
If it is being replaced, the new part is supplied rea-
dy centred by an adhesive label which will tear off
as soon as the steering wheel is turned for the first
time (fit with the wheels straight).
12970R3
Disconnect the battery.
Remove:
- the airbag cushion by the two torx T30 bolts
(tightening torque : 0.5 daN.m) located behind
the steering wheel and disconnect the connec-
tor (D),
IMPORTANT: It is not permitted to operate the
pyrotechnical systems (airbags and pretensioners)
near a source of heat or flame as there is a risk of
triggering.
IMPORTANT : If the steering wheel is removed,
the airbag connector (D)
MUST be disconnected.
The airbag has a connector which short circuits if
it is disconnected to prevent incorrect triggering.

REPAIR OF THE FILAMENT
Clean the section to be treated locally to remove
all dust or grease, preferably using alcohol or a
glass cleaner, and wipe with a clean, dry cloth.
To obtain a regular line during the repair, apply
scotch adhesive tape on either side of the section
to be repaired, leaving the conducting line free.
Before applying the varnish, shake the bottle to
prevent the deposit of silver particles on the bot-
tom of the bottle.
The heated grid applied to the inner face of the
window may be accidentally cut, making the part
of the grid affected inefficient.
The exact point of the disconnection may be de-
termined by means of a voltmeter.
It is possible to repair such faults by applying the
heated rear screen varnish sold under Part
Number 77 01 421 135 (2 g pack).
DETERMINING THE EXACT POINT OF
DISCONNECTION WITH A VOLTMETER.
Switch on the ignition.
Switch on the heated rear screen feed.
DETECTION BETWEEN LINES B AND A
Connect the + wire of the voltmeter to the +
feed terminal of the rear screen.
Place the - wire of the voltmeter on a filament on
the - terminal side of the rear screen (line B). A
voltage approximately equal to battery voltage
must be obtained.
Move the - wire towards line A (arrow): the vol-
tage drops progressively.
If the voltage drops quickly the filament is cut at
that point (carry out this operation for each fila-
ment).
DI8814
DETECTION BETWEEN LINES C AND A
Connect the - wire of the voltmeter to the - termi-
nal of the rear screen.
Place the + wire of the voltmeter on a filament
on the + terminal side of the rear screen (line C);
essentially a voltage equal to the battery voltage
must be obtained.
Move the + wire towards line A (arrow); the vol-
tage drops progressively.
If the voltage drops quickly, the filament must be
cut at this point (carry out this operation for each
filament).

IMPORTANT:
• When carrying out an operation under the ve-
hicle (exhaust, bodywork, etc.), do not use a
hammer or transmit impacts to the floor wi-
thout having removed the pretensioner fuse
and waited 5 minutes for the reserve capacity
to discharge (see section "Fuse allocation", in
the "Wiring diagram" technical note) or for ve-
hicles with the airbag function, wait for 2 se-
conds for the unit to discharge automatically.
• When fitting an electrical accessory in After
Sales, (speaker, alarm unit or any equipment
which may create a magnetic field), it must not
be located near the airbag and pretensioner
computer.CONNECTION
