To complete the job, you will need four special bolts with breakaway heads.
Note: If you don't have special bolts, you can secure the new ignition switch using M6 threaded bolts 20 mm long, although this will significantly reduce the car's anti-theft protection.
Removal
1. Remove the decorative steering column trims.
2. Remove the steering column switches.
3. Disconnect the ignition switch wiring harness connectors.
4. Resting the blade of the chisel against the edge of the head of one of the bolts, lightly tap the chisel with a hammer to loosen the bolt.
Note: The chisel should not cut through the head of the bolt, but only turn the bolt counterclockwise to loosen it.
5. Using narrow-nosed pliers, unscrew the bolt.
6. Similarly, unscrew the three remaining bolts securing the ignition switch.
Note: Hold the ignition switch while removing the last bolt.
7. Remove the ignition switch mounting bracket...
...and the ignition switch itself from the steering column.
8. A faulty ignition switch should be replaced.

Installation
1. Before installing the ignition switch on the vehicle, insert the key into it and turn it to position I ("on") so that the steering shaft locking mechanism latch is pushed into the ignition switch housing.
2. Install the lock with the mounting bracket on the steering column and tighten the new mounting bolts by hand.
3. After removing the key from the lock, check the operation of the steering shaft locking mechanism. If the steering shaft is not locked after a full turn of the steering wheel, adjust the position of the ignition switch on the steering column so that the latch can enter the groove on the steering shaft.
4. After making sure that the locking mechanism is working, use a 10 mm open-end wrench to evenly (crosswise, half a turn) tighten the ignition switch mounting bolts until their heads come off.
5. Further work on installing the ignition switch is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
