Restraints and Safety Systems: Application and ID




Seats with side airbags have a tag attached to 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.




Because the seats are made by more than one manufacturer, make sure you replace any seat components (seat-back cover, frame, etc.) with the correct parts. The name of the seat manufacturer is indicated on the seat-back.

Moreover, the manufacturer name is indicated on the seat-back frame and the seat-back pad. Confirm the indication when you exchange these 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 definitely deformed, it must be replaced.
