How to Replace the Airbag in a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Airbag

First, release the bonnet using the designated lever and lift it to disconnect the battery terminals for safety. Using an Allen key, press the buttons to release the centre part of the steering wheel, likely needing to press both buttons simultaneously. Now, you can extract the centre part and disconnect the plugs at the back to replace the section where the airbag is located. Finally, install the new unit by reversing the steps for reassembly.
