Before proceeding with the removal of the driver's side airbag (integrated in the steering wheel), disconnect the battery to prevent the warning light from activating and avoid accidental detonation. Removing this type of airbag is very straightforward as it is secured with Torx screws located just behind the spokes of the steering wheel.

Once the two screws are removed, pull the airbag away from the steering wheel enough to disconnect the connector, first releasing the central lock and then extracting the connector itself.
