-
Front seat backrest trim covers installed on seats equipped with seat side air bags cannot be repaired. A new trim cover must be installed.
Cleaning is permissible. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the seat side air bag module deploying incorrectly and increase the
risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is
normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
If a side air bag deployment took place, the seat backrest pad, trim cover and side air bag module must be replaced. The seat backrest frame
should be replaced if necessary.
-
When replacing the side air bag after deployment, refer to Seats.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic
procedure again.
