CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with heated cloth seats the heating elements are an integral part of the seat foam and cover. If the heating element is damaged or inoperative the complete seat cushion/cover or seat back/cover assembly must be replaced.

NOTE: Do not remove the factory installed heating elements from the seat or seat back cushions. The original element is permanently attached and cannot be removed without permanent damage. The replacement heating element is designed to be applied directly on top of the factory installed heating element.
