Passive Occupant Detection System Safety Precautions







Passive Occupant Detection System Safety Precautions

After every repair on the passenger seat in which the seat and/or backrest cover was "disengaged" basic setting on Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706) must be performed. Perform basic setting with a diagnostic tester that has "Guided Fault Finding".

Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system mat.

A leaking mat must be replaced (repair kit).

Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system pressure hose.

Seat occupied recognition (repair kit) components must not fall on hard surfaces.

Seat occupied recognition components must not come in contact with grease.

There is the danger that the seat occupied recognition components may be damaged by sharp objects when working on the seat. It is necessary to avoid this danger.

The mat, the fleece and various covers must be fitted to be free of folds.

When installing, ensure upholstery and cover are installed correctly.

Replace all upholstery clips and clip connectors from cover, ensure it is positioned correctly on seat when doing so.

System basic setting is only possible at temperatures between 32° and 104°F (0° and +40°C).

Make sure that no objects are placed on seat when performing basic setting.

Use of seat covers, such as cushions or something similar, impairs seat occupied recognition function and airbag system effectiveness.

Do not install any clips near the mat. This also applies to changes to the seat wiring harness.
