How to dismantle the driver's side airbag of the 2017 Fiat 500.

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Airbag

The steps to remove the steering wheel airbag from a 2017 Fiat 500 are the same as those performed on other Fiat models. To remove the airbag, it is essential to operate the internal levers; we insert a flathead screwdriver into the right and left holes. After inserting the screwdriver, the central body will come off, and it will then be necessary to disconnect the connector to remove it completely. Once you have access to the airbag, it will also be possible to remove the steering wheel if necessary for maintenance; you simply need to unscrew the nut at the back. To perform this operation, it is essential to disconnect the vehicle's battery first to prevent the airbag from deploying and causing damage to people or property.
