Open the rear cover of the steering wheel. Locate the internal fixing screws. Use tools to remove the fixing screws. Pull the airbag outward with force, use a flat-head screwdriver to pry up the black clip, unplug the connector, and the removal operation is completed.
Removing the clips on both sides of the main airbag is a high-risk task, and I’m always extra cautious when working on steering wheel repairs. If the airbag accidentally deploys, it’s no joke—it can seriously injure you. In cars like the Livina, those clips are usually plastic clamps fixed to the steering wheel. If you need to remove them, you must first disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and wait at least 10 minutes for a complete discharge. Then, use a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the clip slots. But honestly, I never recommend DIY for this job because it’s too easy to make a mistake—if the clip breaks or the airbag triggers, it’s game over. It’s best to take it to a 4S shop or repair shop and let a professional handle it. Spending a little money ensures safety. Don’t forget, the airbag system is a life-saving feature—you can’t afford to be careless. Always check for any looseness during routine maintenance.
