⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE & INSTALLATION TIPS

Before Installation: Disconnect the battery negative terminal and wait at least 30 minutes for the airbag system to discharge [citation:5][citation:8].

Centering: Ensure front wheels are perfectly straight. The new clock spring should be set to the central position before fitting. The rotary coupler will do 2 1/4 turns either way from the central position [citation:5][citation:8].

Installation: The new clock spring may come with a centering clip or tie – do NOT remove this until the clock spring is fully installed and the steering wheel is in position [citation:2].

Verification: After installation, check you have free steering lock to lock before driving off [citation:5]. Test horn function and ensure the airbag warning light extinguishes correctly.
