To avoid serious injury or death, do not tap, hit, or impact the seat in any way during the
entire process of this repair. The front passenger seat is equipped with an Occupant
Detection System sensor and control module. Do not disassemble the front passenger seat

calibration.

o Before seat removal, turn off the ignition switch, disconnect both battery cables
(negative cable first). Wait a minimum of 3 minutes before proceeding, so that
the ACC power supply may fully discharge any remaining electricity.

damage.
o Perform seat repairs in a clean work area, such as a work bench with suitable
covering.
