The neutral position is set by carefully turning the spiral cable clockwise to the end position. Then turn it counterclockwise (about two and a half turns) stopping when the knob (A) is at the top most position.
NOTE: If a service part is installed, the neutral position is already set with the stopper installed into the insertion holes. Make sure the stopper is removed before installing steering wheel.
During steering wheel installation, make sure the locating pin hole (B) is aligned with the locating pin of the spiral cable (A). Refer to Removal and Installation .

CAUTION:

The spiral cable may snap during steering operation if the spiral cable is installed in an improper position.
Do not overturn the spiral cable or go beyond the maximum number of turns allowed. This will cause the cable to snap.
The turn signal lever must be in the neutral position for spiral cable installation.
If a malfunction is detected by the air bag warning lamp after repair or replacement of the malfunctioning parts, perform the SRS final check. Refer to SRS Final Check .
After the work is completed, check that no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning lamp.
