Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see how to remove the airbag from the Mercedes A-Class W168 by following a few simple steps that will guide you step by step towards proper vehicle management, completely on your own. First, prepare the necessary tools: a T30 Torx wrench.

Turn the steering wheel until the hole for unscrewing the screw is facing the speedometer (you will work better in this position), then insert the wrench into the hole as shown in the video; do the same for the other hole located below.

Move the steering wheel if you feel the screw is stuck. Remove the ignition key; once the screws are loosened, the airbag will come off.
