Component Identification:





The center position of the fanfare horns and airbag clock spring contact (A45) is crucial for the trouble free function of the airbag system and signaling system. When removed this is guaranteed by the screws (32h).

If the fanfare horns and airbag clock spring contact (A45) is nevertheless twisted, e.g. when the steering coupling is removed or when the screws are unscrewed completely (32h), the center position of the fanfare horns and airbag (A45) can be adjusted as per the following work procedure.

Shown on model 220

1 Remove fanfare horns and airbag clock spring contact (A45).
2 Screw the screws (32h) fully into the fanfare horns and airbag clock spring contact (A45).
3 Turn the fanfare horns and airbag (A45) counterclockwise until a light resistance is detectable (the fanfare horns and airbag clock spring contact (A45) is rolled up completely).
4 Turn the fanfare horns and airbag clock spring contact (A45) approx. 3 to 3.5 revolutions clockwise (turn back) until the screws (32h) can be unscrewed again through the openings and the fanfare horns and airbag clock spring contact (A45) fixed in the center position.

The total adjustment range of the fanfare horns and airbag clock spring contact (A45) is 6 to 7 turns.
