CAUTION:
Never apply the new heating element over the old heating element. The old heating element must be removed and discarded.
35. Peel off the paper on the adhesive backed heating element and attach the new seatback heating element onto the seatback foam as shown in Figure
6.
CAUTION:
Ensure that all areas of each element are flat and fully attached to the seat foam. When properly installed, there should be no buckled or folded areas
in the heating element. It is also important to maintain the gaps (slits) in the heating elements and ensure that the edges of the elements (along the
slits) do not contact one another. The seat back and cushion elements are not interchangeable. Each element is labeled for its intended location (back
or cushion). Failure to install the heating elements as described and shown in this procedure may cause damage to the seat cover(s).
