Market Version, LHD/RHD and Warranty Checks
Steering wheel compatibility should be confirmed against the exact vehicle year, model, trim and market version. Left-hand-drive (LHD) and right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles can use different steering-wheel electronics, button layouts, driver-assistance controls or related components depending on the vehicle platform. Do not assume that a visually identical wheel has identical wiring or functions.
Before installation, compare the original airbag shape, connectors, multifunction buttons, paddle shifters, heating function, clock spring and wiring. Coding or programming may be required when electronic functions differ from the original configuration.
For technical support or warranty review, keep clear photos of the original steering wheel, connectors, product labels and installation process. Where an electrical or airbag warning occurs after installation, record diagnostic information before replacing components or modifying wiring.
