  1. Position the front wheels straight ahead. (After moving a vehicle 5 m (16 ft) or more with front wheels positioned straight ahead, make sure that the vehicle moves straight ahead.)
  2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  3. Disconnect the ground cable from battery and wait for at least 60 seconds before starting work.
  4. Remove the driver's airbag module. CAUTION: Before handling the airbag module, refer to "CAUTION" of "General Description" in "AIRBAG SYSTEM". < Refer to «CAUTION»(ref-560375-S15420108262013061300000) , General Description. > Using a hexagon wrench wrapped with protective tape, push in the snap pins to disengage the locks (3 places).
