Removal and installation of the airbag control device

Withdrawal

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Warning: As a precaution, pause (at least 15 min) in case of unintentional deployment of the airbag. This is the time needed to dissipate the charge of the capacitor.

2. On right-hand drive models, remove the driver's side lower trim panel (chapter 11, paragraph 29). On left-hand drive models, the front panel must be removed to access the assembly (chapter 11).

3. Disconnect the electrical connector. To do this, press the two-section latch handle to the side, the first section disconnects the connector plug, and the second releases the connector socket from the control device (see fig.29.3).



4. Turn out fixing bolts and remove knot.

Installation

5. Installation - in the reverse order of removal.
