Note
1. Notes that are necessary for steering system:
(a) It is necessary to change parts correctly, for they will influence the performance of steering system to
make running danger.
2. Notes that are necessary for SRS airbag:
(a) MR7180 assembles with SRS (auxiliary protection system) such as safety airbag at the side of driver
and safety airbag at the side of passenger.
Maintenance does not accord with correct repair step, this might incur SRS explodes suddenly in
repair term to make heavy accident. Before repairing auxiliary protection system (including
disassembling, assembling, check or change parts), it is necessary to read the notes in SRS chapter
(auxiliary protection system).

1. Check the free clearance of steering wheel
(a) Park the automobile, and the front wheels are towards the
front.
(b)Turn the steering wheel to left and right with your fingers
lightly, and check the free clearance.
