Airbag Trim Cover - Passenger: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Place the passenger air bag cover on a clean work surface once it is removed from the shipping package.
  2. WARNING: Carefully inspect the passenger airbag trim cover, canister and soft pack before assembly. If any foreign objects are found, remove them before attaching the passenger airbag trim cover to the canister. If the canister or soft pack is damaged, install a new passenger airbag assembly. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the passenger airbag deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

    Match the number of cover windows to the number of canister hooks before attaching the passenger air bag cover to the canister.

  3. Match the top of the passenger air bag cover with the canister mark from the removal procedure.
  4. Position the canister onto the passenger air bag cover and engage the bottom hooks into the air bag cover windows.
  5. Push the top of the passenger air bag cover to engage the top canister hooks.
