Install the steering wheel carefully so that the contact roller's two catches fit in the steering wheel hub's both slots.

Install it in the parking hole on the steering wheel.

Connect tools (2 pcs.): 9511506 to the contact roller's SRS-wiring.

Drive the car straight ahead and check that the steering wheel stands in position "straight ahead".

If the steering wheel position is incorrect, repeat the adjustment.

Tighten the screw in the center of the steering wheel.

Remove the tools (2 pcs.): 9511506 .

Tighten the steering wheel screw with 40 Nm.

Check that the SRS-light goes out, that is, that no diagnostic trouble codes remain.
