⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE & INSTALLATION TIPS
Before Installation: Disconnect the battery negative terminal and wait at least 5 minutes for the airbag system to discharge.
Centering: Ensure front wheels are perfectly straight. The new clock spring comes with a centering clip – do NOT remove this clip until the clock spring is fully installed and the steering wheel is in position. Rotating the clock spring without the clip can damage the internal ribbon cable.
Xantia Mark I vs Mark II: The Mark I Xantia uses two different black plugs for the radio connectors, while the Mark II version uses identical black plugs. Verify your original part before ordering .
Rotary Connector Alignment: When the two arrows point directly to each other, it means the clock spring is centered. Every turn you rotate it will move the arrow indicator. If you rotate it too far, you can damage the rotary connector .
Verification: Always verify that the replacement part matches your original in connector type and pin configuration. For 100% confirmation, contact us with your VIN .
Post-Installation: After installation, verify horn function, steering wheel controls, and ensure the airbag warning light extinguishes correctly .
Professional Installation: Due to the critical safety nature of this component, installation by a qualified technician is strongly recommended.
