  2. 2
    Remove the air bag module, then remove the steering wheel assembly.
    When carrying an air bag module, make sure the trim cover is pointed away from your body to prevent injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
    When placing an air bag module on any surface place it with the trim cover upward. This will reduce the motion of the module if it is accidentally deployed.
