INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.





1. Position the switch pod and the mounting adapter plate (4) to the back of the front bezel.
2. Install and tighten the screws (3) that secure the mounting adapter plate and the switch to the bezel.
3. Position the spoke bezel assembly close enough to the steering wheel and connect the electrical connector.
4. Engage the lip on the inboard side of the bezel under the edge of the driver airbag trim cover.
5. Position the spoke bezel, mounting adapter plate and pod as a unit to the steering wheel. Be certain that the steering wheel wire harness is not pinched.





6. From the back of the steering wheel (1), install and tighten the screw (3) that secures the bezel assembly to the steering wheel spoke.
7. Connect the battery negative cable.
