SPECIAL NOTES FOR VEHICLES FITTED WITH
DRIVER’S AIR BAG

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.

REFITTING
The alignment of the sub-frame with the body
will be made easier by positioning two threaded
rods Mot. 1233-01 in the two front mountings of
the sub-frame on the body.
Tighten the sub-frame mounting bolts to a torque
of:
- 6.2 daN.m at the front,
-10.5 daN.m at the rear.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Fit the heat shields correctly.
Apply
Loctite FRENBLOC to the caliper mounting
bolts and tighten them to the recommended tor-
que.
Press the brake pedal several times to bring the
pistons into contact with the brake pads.
Fill:
- the engine and gearbox with oil, if necessary,
- the cooling circuit and bleed it (see section 19
"Filling - bleeding"). E7J engine
Fix tool Mot. 1040-01 underneath the sub-frame.
98755R1
Lower the lift until the tool touches the ground.
Remove the sub-frame mounting bolts and take
out the engine and transmission assembly by lif-
ting the body.
NOTE : for any operation requiring separation of
the engine, gearbox and sub-frame assembly,
take care to mark the position of Mot. 1159 on the
sub-frame.
