How to install the steering wheel airbag of the 2016 Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Airbag

Today we will explain how to mount the steering wheel airbag on a 2016 Smart Fortwo car. Before performing this operation, it is necessary to check that the car's battery is still disconnected because during installation or removal the airbag could activate. Connect the central body of the steering wheel, containing the airbag, to the steering wheel itself, using the connector. After connecting the connector, push the body inward so that it can be locked in place by the clips. Then connect the battery, start the car, and verify that the airbag light is on correctly.
