NOTE:

There are two suppliers for the four-spoke steering wheel with airbag unit. "Petri" secures the airbag unit in the steering wheel with a rectangular stud - 1 -. "TRW" secures the airbag unit in the steering wheel with a stepped pin - 2 -.
Because of the differing engaging mechanisms, only steering wheels and airbag units from same supplier can be installed.
Always note component supplier when ordering replacement parts.
