The following guide shows how to replace the airbag. First, gather the necessary tools and screwdriver to proceed with the operation.

The first step is to remove the steering column cover. Once the steering wheel is removed, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to have a clear view of the two pins that secure the airbag inside, which you will need to work on. Using the screwdriver, you can then replace the old airbag and insert the purchased replacement part.

For reassembly, simply screw and snap the various components back in place, then reattach the steering column cover.
