How to remove and refit the airbag from the steering wheel on Volvo V40?

To take off the air bag, first place the front wheels straight ahead and run the steering lock. Next, loosen and take off the steering wheel retaining nut while holding the wheel rim to avoid only using the steering lock, which may damage the wheel rim. Mark alignment of the steering wheel and the steering column shaft. Then, take the locking screw off the plastic strip lock and lock it to the lug of the airbag contact unit by light tightening so that it does not rotate. Carefully remove the steering wheel from the column splines without damaging the wiring of the contact unit. To refit the indicator column, make sure that the switch column is in the central (off) position (to avoid breaking the switch tab), pass the contact unit wiring through the steering wheel center, seat the wheel on the column splines and make sure that it is aligned with the previously made marks. Refit the steering wheel retaining nut and tighten it to the specified torque. Finally, remove the locking screw on the contact unit lug, refit it to the plastic strip, and screw it into the wheel before putting the airbag back on.

Volvo V40 Steering Wheel

The Volvo V40 Steering Wheel is the central control board of the car, converting the movements of the hands of the driver into fine movements of the road wheels. Communicating rotary input through rack and pinion or recirculating ball linkages, and, in most vehicles, through hydraulic power steering, which utilizes fluid pressure to reduce effort, or electric power steering, which uses computer-directed motors to provide smooth assistance and fuel economy, it was constructed to bear heavy use. Their variations ensure that the front wheels travel in unison despite very minimal turns, which provide the driver with predictable handling in the city streets and highways. The compact hatchback has over the years been using the conventional leather-clad wheels and other heavier, thicker rim-style designs, but all of these have the same basic job of providing clear, vibration-free feedback. Every Volvo cabin is equipped with this Steering Wheel with a clear view of the instrument panel, focusing on daily comfort and control. All Volvo wheels share the same routing, with the rim in the hands of the driver commencing and the tires running in unison, coordinating the activity, which explains why the responsive Steering Wheel is essential to safe travel in any Volvo model, and in particular the all-purpose V40.
