Crash Element (Before and After Compression):






NOTE: Never disassemble the steering column to perform repairs on the crash element! In the event of a defect (particularly a crash), replace the entire steering column.


Always set the steering wheel in the straight ahead position before removal/installation. Remove/install the steering column switch center (SZL) in the straight ahead position, also observe the marking on the locking tooth when installing the steering wheel.
