After dismantling the washer, insert the key into the ignition lock and turn to 1 position. Then carefully run it from the steering column with light tapping.

After dismantling decorative plastic panels, disconnect all the wires that prevent work. Turn the ignition key to the horizontal position and unscrew the screws that lock the lock to the metal casing. Then, with a thin steel rod, squeeze the pin holding the ignition lock. It is necessary to do it through the hole located on the side. After completing this operation, just pull the castle up, and it will be in your hands.
