How to Remove and Install the Steering Wheel of the New Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
There is a plastic round cover on each side of the steering wheel; pry them open. Inside each cover, there is a T35 screw; unscrew them with a screwdriver. Be careful with the clips when removing the airbag harness to avoid damage, then take it out. It is best to mark the position of the steering wheel before removing it. The airbag is secured by only two screws; remove the screws to take it out. Below is some related information about the new Nissan Sylphy: 1. The new-generation Sylphy features a 2700mm ultra-long wheelbase, a 1760mm wide body, and 680mm executive-level rear knee room, achieving a leading full-size spacious and comfortable space in its class, offering a superior level of comfort and coziness, and allowing you to enjoy the pleasure of driving with ease. 2. The Sylphy is one of the main models of Dongfeng Nissan, and its sales have been very strong since its launch. The current model has a very dynamic design and is richly equipped. In terms of active safety, it includes many features such as a collision warning system, lane change assist, and lane departure assist. The high-end models are also equipped with a 7-inch multimedia screen.
Last time when I disassembled and reassembled the steering wheel of my new Sylphy, it was quite a hassle, mainly because I wanted to save some money and do it myself. First, you need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and wait for 15 minutes to let the airbag discharge completely—safety first, don’t touch the airbag wires. Then, look under the steering wheel and use a small screwdriver to pry open the small covers on both sides, revealing the large central screw, which needs to be removed with a Torx T50 wrench. When pulling out the steering wheel, gently wiggle it up and down—don’t yank it hard to avoid breaking the wires or damaging the airbag connector. Before reassembling, remember to align the marks to ensure proper positioning, otherwise the steering wheel might be crooked while driving, which is quite annoying. Basic tools like a wrench and screwdriver will do, but keep some spare parts handy as clips can break easily. After finishing, I tested the buttons and they worked fine, but it took me about an hour, making me regret not just going to a repair shop. Before attempting this, watch more video tutorials—beginners should think twice as it’s quite risky.
