id091300800200

Warning

•  Handling a front seat (with built-in side air bag) improperly can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings before handling a front seat (with built-in side air bag). (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS.)

Caution

•  After removing a front seat, do not operate the slider lever. If the slider lever is operated, the left and right slide positions will deviate, and the slide adjuster may be damaged after the front seat is installed.

•  Verify that there are no malfunctions in the sliding mechanism after installing a front seat.

•  When performing the procedure with a front seat removed from the vehicle, perform the procedure on a clean rag so as not to damage or soil the seat.

Note

•  When removing the front seat out of the vehicle or putting it back in, it can be performed smoothly by removing the headrest.
