The under steering wheel control assembly and the rotating contact included in this one, can not
be separated.
DISMOUNTING
Disconnect the battery (-) terminal.
Place the steering at the middle point (straight line driving position of the vehicle).
Detach from clips the steering wheel central ornament (cover).
Dismount the steering wheel attachment screw.
Carefully dismount the steering wheel in order not to damage “the tape connector” of the
rotating contact; ensure that wheels are in the straight line driving position of the vehicle.
Dismount the TORX 20 three attachment screws of the steering wheel half-casing.
Detach from clips the steering wheel half-casings and remove them.
Disconnect the windscreen wiper switch connector and the connector of the turning and lighting
control switch.
Loosen the screw (
1
), unblocking the under steering wheel control assembly from the attach-
ment cone of the steering column.
Extract the under steering wheel control assembly from the attachment cone of the steering
column.
REMOUNTING
Ensure that wheels are in the straight line driving position of the vehicle.
Position the under steering wheel control assembly so that after mounting the two steering
wheel half-casings, the assembly handles are lined up with the instrument panel and the dashboard.
Reconnect the windscreen wiper connector and the connector of the turning and lighting control
switch.
Attach in clips the steering wheel half-casings. Mount their attachment screws.
Tighten the screw (
1 ) in order to block the under steering wheel control assembly on the steer-
ing column. This operation is facilitated by a cutout in the lower half-casing, enabling access to the
screw (
1
).
Carefully mount the steering wheel in order not to damage “the tape conector” of the rotating
contact; the steering wheel has an area without grooves on the steering column. Steering wheel
must easy enter in grooves.
Replace the steering wheel attachment screw (
TORX 50
) after each dismounting ( pre-glued
screw) and tighten it (required tightening moment
4.4 daNm
). Attach in clips the steering wheel
central cover.
Reconnect the battery (-) terminal.
Check the operation of the under steering wheel control.
