NOTE: Ensure that the wiring is not trapped, twisted or damaged during installation.

Reinstall the driver's airbag (SRS) in the steering wheel. Install the locking pins (4) on the driver's airbag (SRS) opposite the corresponding hole in the steering wheel mounting plate.

Press the center of the lock pins so that the (5) lock springs in the hole engage in the studs. Ensure that no wiring is trapped.

Check that:

the steering wheel can be turned easily
the steering wheel lock functions correctly
the driver's airbag (SRS) is secure.
