2005 Saab 9-3 repair Question 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I am trying to take out my driver's side airbag for replacement with another one, but I cant seem to find screws or other ways of taking it off. It's not the same as the honda, nissan or toyota where the bolts are right there and easily accessible. So if you could look into it and let me know with some instructions on the way to take it off.
