Vehicle Damage Warnings
CAUTION:- If installing only the front passenger seat cushion trim cover, the seat occupant classification sensor (OCS) must be rezeroed.
- The following precautions must be taken before rezeroing of the OCS system.
- Make sure the OCS system components are connected and no faults are present.
- Make sure the vehicle has not been exposed to temperatures below 6°C (42°F) or above 36°C (97°F) within four hours prior to the rezeroing process. If the vehicle has been exposed to temperatures outside the temperature limits (6-36°C ), the vehicle must be exposed to and kept at a temperature within the limits for minimum of four hours.
- Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before rezeroing and nothing is placed on the seat during the rezeroing process.
- Make sure a minimum five second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON before the rezeroing process.
- If replacing only the front passenger seat cushion trim cover, the occupant classification sensor must be rezeroed.
- While positioning the seat cushion frame and occupant sensor assembly, be careful not to damage any of the components. Failure to do so can result in component failure.
- Use care when separating the seat cushion trim cover from the hook and loop strip. The hook and loop strip can be torn from the seat cushion foam.
- Failure to route the seat occupant sensor components through the correct seat cushion support opening can cause component failure.
- Inspect the occupant classification sensor assembly, seat cushion frame and support assembly for any foreign objects before installing the occupant classification sensor assembly to the seat cushion frame. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
- Inspect the occupant classification sensor bladder, seat cushion frame and support assembly for any foreign objects, before installing the occupant classification sensor to the seat cushion frame. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
- Inspect the seat cushion pad and frame for any foreign objects before installing the seat cushion frame to the seat cushion pad. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
