Retrofit instructions: Installing a Sport Heated Steering Wheel, BMW X5 E39 2001 – 06
3
If you currently have the sport steering wheel as
pictured, turn it sideways as shown and turn the
ignition off.
IMPORTANT:
REMOVE AIRBAG FUSE FROM THE
FUSEPANEL IN THE GLOVEBOX.
Failing to do so may cause the airbag to explode in
your face and/or cause the airbag light to come on
in the dash. This will require resetting the light at
the dealer.
Insert a narrow screwdriver in the hole behind the
steering wheel. You should feel a spring action to
release one side of the airbag. Do the same on the
other side to release the airbag completely.
This step will take some patience until you find the
correct spot to push in. The screwdriver should be
inserted at the same angle as the wiper stalk
towards the center of the steering.
This should release the airbag and you should be
able to remove it safely.
