TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)
REMOVAL
Disconnect the battery.
Set the vehicle wheels straight.
Remove the steering wheel in the following
manner.
Without airbag option
Remove the plastic cover.
Remove:
- the steering wheel bolt (this
MUST be renewed
on refitting),
- the steering wheel after noting its position.
With airbag option
REMOVAL
Disconnect the battery.
Remove:
- the driver’s airbag cushion by the two Torx T30
bolts (tightening torque 0.5 daN.m) located
behind the steering wheel and disconnect the
connector ( D ),
IMPORTANT: pyrotechnic systems (airbags and
pretensioners) must not be handled near to a heat
source or flame - they may be triggered.
IMPORTANT : whenever the steering wheel is
removed, the airbag connector ( D )
MUST be
disconnected. The airbag is fitted with a
connector which short circuits when it is
connected to avoid any incorrect triggering.

- the horn connector, if fitted,
- the steering wheel bolt (this
MUST be renewed
on refitting),

straight,
- the half cowlings ( three bolts).
Disconnect the rotary switch connector and
remove it after removing the three mounting
bolts ( E ).
When removing the switch, its position must be
noted:
• either by ensuring the wheels are straight when
removing it so that the track may be positioned
centrally,
• or by immobilising the rotary switch rotor with
adhesive tape.

IMPORTANT : if these instructions are not
followed exactly the system may not operate
normally and could even be triggered incorrectly.
IMPORTANT
Before reconnecting the driver’s airbag cushion,
check to see if the system is operating correctly as
follows:
•check the airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is illuminated when the
ignition is on,
•connect a dummy ignition module to the
driver’s airbag connector and check that the
warning light extinguishes,
•switch the ignition off, connect the airbag
cushion in place of the dummy ignition module
and secure the cushion to the steering wheel,
•switch the ignition on. Check the warning light
illuminates for three seconds when the ignition
is switched on then extinguishes and remains
extinguished.
If the warning light does not operate as described
above, refer to the fault finding section and check
the system using the
XRBAG (Elé. 1288).
SPECIAL NOTES FOR VEHICLES FITTED WITH A
DRIVER’S AIRBAG
Ensure that the wheels are still straight.
Check that the rotary switch is still immobilised
before refitting.
If it is not, follow the method for centring
described in section 88 "driver’s airbag".
Renew the steering wheel bolt each time it is
removed ( pre-bonded bolt).
Observe the correct tightening torque ( 4.5
daN.m).
