Note
1. Notes that are necessary for steering system:
(a) It is necessary to change parts correctly, for they will influence the performance of steering system to
make running danger.
2. Notes that are necessary for SRS airbag:
(a) MR7180 assembles with SRS (auxiliary protection system) such as safety airbag at the side of driver
and safety airbag at the side of passenger.
Maintenance does not accord with correct repair step, this might incur SRS explodes suddenly in
repair term to make heavy accident. Before repairing auxiliary protection system (including
disassembling, assembling, check or change parts), it is necessary to read the notes in SRS chapter
(auxiliary protection system).

(b) Assemble the fixed screw cap of steering wheel.
(c) Connect the joint.
25. Assemble safety airbag assembly at the side of driver [67010011]
Warning:
zForbid using SRS parts on other automobiles, when changing any part, it is necessary to use new
product.
zIf safety airbag assembly at the side of driver once dropped or exterior shell and joint has crack,
concave or other distortions, it is necessary to change with new product.
zWhen assembling the airbag assemble at the side of driver, it is necessary to pay attention to airbag
wiring harness could not interrupt other parts or be clamped by other parts.
(a) Connect the end.
(b) Connect the joint of airbag.
(c) After assembling the safety airbag assembly at the side
of driver, insure planetary screw of concave slot contacts
with screw shell.

Normal Abnormal

(e) If there is any foam or emulsification phenomenon, it is necessary to exhaust air in power steering
system.
(f) Keep the engine at idling speed, and measure the oil
level of oil storage tank.
(g) Engine extinguishes.
(h) After waiting for several minutes, measure the oil level
of oil storage tank again.
