Seats: Service Precautions

Seats with Side Airbags




Seats with side airbag have a "SIDE AIRBAG" tag on the seat-back. Because the component parts (seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you install only the correct replacement parts.

- When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
- Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
- After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the seat-back cover and the side airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is deformed, it must be replaced.
