Steering wheel and CIM module disassembly instructions

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Steering wheel

Then unscrew the steering wheel fixing pin and remove it. The Console Integrated Module (CIM) is fixed to the steering column with two plastic tabs, one upper and one lower: just lever to release them and extract the module by disconnecting the relative sockets. If you also want to remove the control levers, these are also stuck and just widen the fixing tab to remove them.
