WARNING
In order to prevent any risk of damage to the ro-
tary switch beneath the steering wheel, the follo-
wing instructions should be observed:
• Before disconnecting the steering column and
the rack, the steering wheel MUST be immobi-
lised with the wheels straight, using a "stee-
ring wheel lock", throughout the operation.
• If there is any doubt that the rotary switch is
properly centred, the steering wheel must be
removed in order to apply the centring method
described in section 88 "Air bag".
REMINDER: this kind of work must only be carried
out by properly trained and qualified staff.
