Removal and Installation
NOTE:
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Only the front passenger seat can come equipped with optional fold-flat recliners.
- Recliners on seats that do not fold-flat are not serviced separately, they are serviced with the backrest frame.
