Passenger Occupant Detection System Deactivation Additional Safety Precautions
Passenger Occupant Detection System Deactivation Additional Safety Precautions
• After each repair to the front passenger seat where the seat or backrest cover was removed, a basic setting of the passenger occupant detection system control module must be performed. Refer to Vehicle diagnostic tester.
• Make sure that no objects are placed on seat when performing basic setting.
• The seat and all the passenger occupant detection system components must be dry when being installed. Moisture will negatively affect the passenger occupant detection system. If necessary, let the seat, the seat cushion, the passenger occupant detection sensor and the seat cover dry out first.
• Never disconnect the connector between the passenger occupant detection system control module and the passenger occupant detection sensor => [ ] Seat Occupied Recognition For Passenger Airbag Deactivation Assembly Overview
• Do not pull on the passenger occupant detection sensor wire.
• Make sure the components of the passenger occupant detection system do not fall onto hard surfaces, do not come into contact with grease and do not risk damage by resting against sharp objects.
• Standard seat/Sport seat/Super Sport seat: The passenger occupant detection sensor is glued to the seat cushion or the seat heating element on a replacement seat (Service Kit). Make sure there adhesive is smooth before installation, if necessary.
• Multicontour seat: the passenger occupant detection sensor for the passenger occupant detection system with seat heating element is sewn inside the seat cover on a replacement seat (Service Kit). Only the seat cover is replaced. Do not twist the seat cover.
• Ensure the seat upholstery and cover are positioned correctly when installing.
• Replace all upholstery clips or clips and make sure they are positioned correctly on the seat. Be careful not to damage or clip the glued/sewn passenger occupant detection sensor with the upholstery clips.
• The use of additional seat cushions such as pillows impairs the function of the seat occupant detection system and the operation of the airbag system.
