IMP ORTANT !
Anytime when dismounting the steering
wheel, it is necessary to dismount the airbag
connector (1). The airbag is provided wi th
a connector who is short-circuited aft er dis-
connecting the wiring connector, avoiding
in this way all undesirable starting.
AT T E N T I ON !
It is forbidden the change of the rota-
tion c ontact position after di smounting
the under-steering wheel control assem-
bly, because there is the risk of i ts dam-
aging.
The under steering wheel control it is pro-
vided with a pre -cut self-a dhe sive tape
stacked on the rotating contact and on the
under steering wheel control body that is not
allowing the undesirable rotation of the rotat-
ing contact until its mounting on the attach-
ment cone of the steering column. In case the position of the rotating contact
is changed, then this one, is to be rotated
clockwise 2.5 complete rotations (or until it
gets blocked), then is to be rotated a nti-

I mportant!
Before reconnecting the driver’s airbag connector, it is necessary to apply a checking

on.
- Connect the igniter to the airbag connector (to the wiring) and check if the airbag
indicator is off. - Set the contact off, connect the airbag connector instead of the inert igniter and
attach the airbag on the steering wheel (requiret tightening moment is 0.65 daNm). After remounting, perform the system checking by means of the CLIP tester.
If everything is correct, unblock the UCE airbag (see chapter 88 “Unblocking UCE
airbag”). If is not correct, see chapter “Diagnostic”.
- Check if t he airbag i ndicator from the instrument panel is on for 3 seconds from
setting the cont act on, t hen it is off and i s remaini ng off.
