Preparation
Test drive the car and make a note of the steering wheel position.
Remove the battery lead. See Battery, disconnecting Battery Disconnecting.
Remove the driver's airbag module. See Airbag driver's side (SRS), replacing Airbag Driver's Side (SRS), Replacing.

Steering wheel position, adjusting




Remove the steering wheel mounting screw.
Turn the steering wheel to the position noted during the test drive. Remove the steering wheel.
Zero the contact reel. See Contact reel driver airbag module, resetting Adjustments.
Set the steering wheel to the "straight ahead" position.

Note! Do not turn the steering wheel when it is on the steering shaft. Since the contact reel is locked, it will be damaged beyond repair if the wheel is turned in this situation.

Tighten the steering wheel mounting screw. Tighten to 35 Nm.
Remove the locking screw for the contact reel. Secure the locking screw in the "parking hole" in the steering wheel.

Finishing
