Seat Occupant Sensor: Service Precautions
Passive Occupant Detection Sensor Safety Precautions
CAUTION!
• A re-zero procedure must be performed on the passenger occupant detection system control module each time the front passenger seat and/or backrest cover is disengaged.
• Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system mat.
• A leaking mat must be replaced (service kit).
• Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system pressure hose.
• Make sure components of passenger occupant detection system do not fall onto hard surfaces, do not come into contact with grease and do not risk damage by resting against sharp objects.
• The mat, the crease and various covers must be fitted to be free of folds.
• When installing, make sure seat cushion and seat cover are positioned correctly.
• Replace the various upholstery clamps and clips and verify their correct positioning on seat.
• After every repair on front passenger seat, basic setting for Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module must be performed.
• The basic setting of the system is only possible between temperatures of 32 °F and 104 °F (0°C and +40°C).
• Make sure that no objects are placed on seat when performing basic setting.
• The use of additional seat cushions - such as pillows etc. - impairs the function of the seat occupied recognition system and thereby the operation of the airbag system.
