[A] NEUTRAL POSITIONING OF STEERING WHEEL SENSOR

CAUTION:
^ Always align the center of the clock spring before installing the steering wheel sensor. Otherwise, the sensor can be damaged.
^ If the center of the clock spring is not correctly aligned, the steering wheel may not be turned fully or the cable inside the clock spring may be broken, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative or operated incorrectly.
