DRIVER SIDE : Removal and Installation

REMOVAL

WARNING:

Do not leave any objects (screwdrivers, tools, etc.) on the seat during seat repair. It can lead to personal injury if the side air bag module should accidentally deploy.

CAUTION:

• When removing or installing the seat trim, handle it carefully to keep dirt out and to avoid damage.
• When checking the power seat circuit for continuity using a circuit tester, do not confuse its connector with the side air bag module connector. Such an error may cause the air bag module to deploy.
• Do not drop, tilt, or bump the side air bag module while installing the seat. Always handle it with care.
• After the front side air bag module inflates, the front seatback assembly must be replaced.
• When removing and installing the seat, use shop cloths to protect components from damage.
• Before removing the front seat, turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least three minutes.
