How to Remove the Airbag in a Passat?

[HazelAnn]

First, wear fire-resistant gloves and protective goggles, then remove the side covers on both sides of the steering wheel. Carefully take out the airbag assembly. The airbag retaining spring is located in two small holes beneath the steering wheel. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the clips inside. Related information is as follows: 1. The airbag is an important passive safety protection system in a car. When used in conjunction with seat belts, it can provide effective protection for occupants. 2. To ensure that the airbag can deploy to protect occupants when the car is impacted, manufacturers conduct extensive testing under various conditions. A seam is then designed on the front cover of the steering wheel, allowing the airbag to smoothly push open the cover and inflate. The reason this seam is designed on the inside rather than the outside is to maintain aesthetics without compromising safety.
