2 Answers
Method for removing the airbag cover on the New Sylphy: 1. Prepare a set of hex Torx screwdrivers; 2. From the bottom of the steering wheel, you can see a round plastic cover—remove it to reveal the screws; 3. Use a screwdriver of the corresponding size to unscrew the screws. Taking the Sylphy 2021 Classic Manual Comfort Edition as an example, its exterior dimensions are: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Sylphy 2021 Classic Manual Comfort Edition is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 135 PS, maximum power of 99 kW, and maximum torque of 159 Nm.
I usually enjoy tinkering with my car, but I really don't recommend DIY when it comes to removing the airbag cover. The airbag cover on the new Sylphy is connected to the steering wheel airbag system, which contains high-pressure gas. One wrong move could accidentally trigger it and cause injury. The standard procedure is to first turn off the car, wait about ten minutes for the system to discharge, and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent short circuits. Then, use specialized tools like a T30 Torx bit to unscrew the cover's fixing screws on both sides of the steering wheel. Without the right tools, it's tough and you might end up scratching the plastic casing. Before removal, make sure to take protective measures like wearing gloves and goggles. But honestly, beginners shouldn't touch this—it's too risky. I once tried removing an airbag cover on an old car and nearly had an accident when the screws got stripped. In the end, I just took it to a repair shop, spent a little money, and got it fixed—easy and safe. If you want to replace the steering wheel or do maintenance, it's best to leave it to a professional mechanic.
