Tighten bolts which install roll connector and steering angle sensor onto steering column.

Fig 3: Tightening Additional Bolts For Roll Connector & Steering Angle Sensor
Set steering wheel to neutral and install it onto steering shaft.
Tightening torque:
1. 44 N.m (4.5 kgf-m, 32.5 ft-lb)
Column cover-to-steering wheel clearance:
1. 2 - 4 mm (0.08 - 0.16 in)
CAUTION: Insert roll connector guide pin into guide hole on lower end of surface of steering wheel to prevent damage. Draw out airbag system connector, horn connector and cruise control connectors from guide hole of steering wheel lower end.
Install airbag module to steering wheel. See AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS .

CAUTION:
After completion of installation procedure, the following two position settings must be made.
- Steering angle sensor center positioning
- Yaw rate and lateral G sensor 0 positioning
These procedures are necessary for VDCCM to later recognize what position the vehicle is in. For procedures for the above two settings, see ADJUSTMENT .
