Airbag Removal
Store a removed airbag assembly with the
pad surface up. If the airbag is improperly stored face
down, accidental deployment could propel the unit with
enough force to cause serious injury.
NOTE: Before removing the steering wheel, make sure
the front wheels are straight ahead.
SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section 24 before performing repairs or ser-
vice.

2. Remove the access panel from the steering wheel

the connector.
