or service.
NOTE:
-
With side airbag ('00 model): The seat with a airbag is marked with a side airbag on the surface of the seat- back. Because the component parts
(seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you install only the correct replacement parts.
-
'00 model Sedan: The front seats with side airbags are produced by three different suppliers, before replacing the seat-back, make sure the
seat-back cover (A), pad (B) and frame (C) are from the same supplier. Before assembling the seat-back, make sure the suppliers identification (D)
is the same on each part.
-
With side airbag ('00 model): Do not repair any tears or frayed spots of the seat-back cover. If necessary, replace the seat-back cover.
-
Take care not to tear the seams or damage the seat covers.
-
'00 model: Do not touch the Occupant Position Detection System OPDS sensor in the seat-back pad. Keep the sensor free from grease oils and
