Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Seats: Service Precautions

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION

- If the seat cushion cover is removed or replaced, make sure to perform passenger detection system adjustment after installing the seat to the vehicle. If system adjustment is not performed, the occupant detection system may not function properly.
- The passenger detection system (passenger seat only) control unit and the passenger detection sensor are fixed to the seat cushion frame. Never remove the passenger detection control unit or the pressure sensor from the seat cushion frame.
- Do not replace the seat cushion pad by itself. Always replace the seat cushion pad and frame assembly as a set. The seat cushion pad and cushion frame are adjusted as a set at the time of manufacture. If cushion pads and cushion frames are combined from those of other vehicles or other sets, the passenger detection system may not operate properly.
- If the seat cushion cover is removed, make sure to replace the hang wire on the seat cushion side with a new wire.
- When removing the front seat from a side airbag loaded vehicle, follow cautions given in the airbag section.
