This explains how to disable the AirBag System:

Disable the SIR:

  • Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight ahead.
  • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
  • Remove the key from the ignition switch.
    IMPORTANT: With the SIR Fuse removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, The AIR BAG warning lamp illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate an SIR system malfunction.
  • Remove the SIR Fuse from the IP fuse block.
  • Remove the left sound insulator, if equipped.
  • Remove the knee bolster.
  • Disconnect the driver yellow 2-way connector located at the base of the steering column.
  • Open the IP compartment door, lift stop and allow door to fully open.

    Answer

    The reason for turning the Steering wheel staight, is to access the rear part of the steering wheel & for a starting point when you put everything back together.
