REMOVAL
I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION
aUnlock the steering column.
aLock the airbag computer using the Diagnostic tool
(see Fault finding - Replacement of components)
(MR 413, 88C, Airbags - Pretensioners).
aDisconnect the battery (see Battery: Removal - Re-
fitting) (MR 411, 80A, Battery).
aSet the wheels straight ahead.
aRemove:
-the driver's front airbag (see Driver's frontal air-
bag: Removal - Refitting) (MR 411, 88C, Airbags
- Pretensioners),
-the steering wheel (see 36A, Steering assembly,
Steering wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 36A-
23) ,-the steering column switch assembly (see Steer-
ing column switch assembly: Removal - Refit-
ting) (MR 411, 84A, Steering column switch
assembly),
-the immobiliser antenna/transponder ring (see
Transponder ring: Removal - Refitting) (MR
411, 82A, Immobiliser),
-the ignition switch if the steering column is replaced
(see Ignition switch: Removal - Refitting) (MR
411, 82A, Immobiliser).
II - REMOVAL OPERATION FOR PART
CONCERNED
aRemove the cover from the universal joint (1) (do not
keep).
aRemove:
-the universal joint bolt (2) (do not keep),
-the universal joint nut (do not keep). Equipment required

IMPORTANT
To avoid any risk of triggering when working on
or near a pyrotechnic component (airbags or pre-
tensioners), lock the airbag computer using the
diagnostic tool.
When this function is activated, all the trigger
lines are inhibited and the airbag warning light on
the instrument panel lights up continuously (igni-
tion on).
IMPORTANT

sioners or airbags) near to a source of heat or
naked flame - they may be triggered.
