3 Answers
Changan Eado airbag removal method is as follows: 1. Open the rear cover of the steering wheel; locate the internal fixing screws; use tools to remove the fixing screws. 2. Pull the airbag outward with force to remove it; disconnect the wire connector to complete the removal operation. Below is some information about airbags: 1. Status of airbags: Airbags are a high-tech device that attracts attention in modern cars. 2. Benefits of airbags: The steering wheel of a car equipped with an airbag device looks no different from an ordinary steering wheel under normal circumstances. However, once a strong collision occurs at the front of the car, the airbag will instantly pop out from the steering wheel, cushioning between the steering wheel and the driver to prevent the driver's head and chest from hitting hard objects such as the steering wheel or dashboard.
I used to enjoy DIY car repairs and tried removing an airbag once, but the risks are really high. The airbag in the Changan Eado is located in the center of the steering wheel. The first step is to disconnect the negative battery terminal—find that thick black wire clip and unscrew it. Then wait at least 10 minutes to let the system fully discharge, which is crucial—otherwise, the airbag might accidentally deploy and injure you. Prepare some screwdrivers or T-shaped wrenches, carefully pry open the steering wheel cover, and avoid scratching the leather. The airbag module is usually secured with a few screws; remove it gently without pulling on the wire connectors. After reassembly, check if the airbag warning light comes on. Honestly, I recommend having an experienced friend supervise if you're unsure, or just take it to a professional shop. Airbags are designed to deploy with explosive charges to protect people, and improper handling could cause accidents—safety comes first.
I always feel that airbags aren't something you can casually remove—they contain small explosives inside. The airbag system in the Changan Eado is quite sensitive. To remove it, you must first disconnect the battery power and wait for a while to discharge. Then, handle the steering wheel cover. But if you make even a slight mistake during the process, the airbag might 'pop' out with enough force to shatter the windshield or injure someone. So, I strongly advise against doing it yourself. Just drive to a 4S shop or certified repair station. They have all the right tools and plenty of experience to ensure safe removal and installation. Airbags are designed to save lives in accidents, so the removal process must be handled carefully—don't take unnecessary risks to save a little money. Regular checks on this system will ensure it works when it matters most.
