Passive Occupant Detection Sensor Additional Safety Precautions







Passive Occupant Detection Sensor Additional Safety Precautions

After each repair to the front passenger seat where the seat or backrest cover was removed, a basic setting of the passenger occupant detection system control module must be performed.

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 the components of the 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 fleece and various covers must be fitted to be free of folds.

Ensure the seat upholstery and cover are positioned correctly when installing.

Replace all upholstery clips or clips and make sure they are positioned correctly on the seat.

The system basic setting can be performed at temperatures between 32 °F and 104° F (0 °C and 40 °C) with 8.R and 9.* airbags. The temperature must be between 41°F and 95 °F (5°C and 35°C) with 10.* airbags.

Make sure that no objects are placed on seat when performing basic setting.

The use of additional seat cushions such as pillows impairs the function of the seat occupant detection system and the operation of the airbag system.
