Carefully turn the steering wheel and check that it can be turned all the way in both directions.

WARNING:

Do not drive the car for longer than necessary when aligning the front wheels. The steering wheel is not tightened and the steering wheel air bag module is removed.

If the steering wheel is incorrectly aligned:
