INSTALLATION

CAUTION:
During the installation of the replacement heating element, be careful not to fold or crease the element assembly. Folds or creases will cause premature failure.

1. When servicing the front passenger seat bottom cushion, if removed, install a new Occupant Detection Sensor (ODS) onto cushion Occupant Detection Sensor - Installation.

2. Peel off the adhesive backing from the replacement heated seat element (2).

3. Position the heated seat element to the foam cushion directly where the original heater element was located.

On cloth heated seat equipped models, see the original seat for location reference.

4. Firmly press the heated seat element onto the foam cushion. Make sure the adhesive is fully adhered to the cushion.

5. Install the cover onto the seat bottom or seat back cushion.

6. Install the seat bottom or seat back cushion.

Make certain the heated seat element wire harness, airbag harness and ODS harness (when equipped) is correctly routed. Any excess wire should be securely placed between the rear of the bottom cushion and the rear seat cover flap.

7. Install the seat.

8. Reconnect the negative battery cable.

9. Verify proper heated seat system operation.
