2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety during installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or damage to your vehicle.

• Professional Installation Recommended: Installation of an aftermarket steering wheel requires specialized knowledge and tools. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional mechanic.
• No Airbag: MOMO aftermarket steering wheels do not have airbags built in. Removing the original steering wheel will disable the vehicle's airbag system. Be aware of the safety implications.
• Correct Boss Kit Required: A vehicle-specific boss (adapter) kit is mandatory for proper installation. Ensure you use the correct boss kit for your vehicle model.
• Secure Fasteners: Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings. Regularly check for any loosening.
• Electrical Connections: If your vehicle has horn or other electrical connections on the steering wheel, ensure they are correctly reconnected and functioning after installation.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your MOMO FIGHTER EVO LEATHER steering wheel, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the leather surface. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for automotive interiors. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the leather.
• Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and deterioration of the leather. Consider using a sunshade when parking for extended periods.
• Check Fasteners: Periodically inspect all mounting screws and bolts for tightness. Re-tighten if necessary to prevent any movement or play.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MOMO steering wheel, consider the following common solutions:

• Horn Not Working:
  • Check all electrical connections for the horn button and wiring.
  • Ensure the horn fuse in your vehicle's fuse box is intact.
  • Verify the horn button itself is functioning correctly.
• Steering Wheel Feels Loose:
  • Immediately stop driving and safely pull over.
  • Check all mounting screws securing the steering wheel to the boss kit. Tighten them evenly and securely.
  • Inspect the boss kit for any damage or improper installation.
• Unusual Noises from Steering:
  • This could indicate an issue with the boss kit or steering column. Consult a professional mechanic.

For persistent issues, contact a qualified automotive technician or MOMO customer support.
