Remove any foreign material from the mounting surfaces of the deployment chute, the seat backrest frame mounting bracket and
the air bag module cavity in the seat backrest foam pad.

Install new parts if damaged.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in the seat side air bag deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
-
If the seat side air bag cover has been damaged or separated from its mounting, or if the air bag material has been exposed, install a
new seat side air bag module. Never try to repair the seat side air bag module. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the
seat side air bag deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
-
Inspect the seat side air bag module cavity in the seat backrest foam pad for any foreign material. If any foreign material is found,
remove it. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the seat side air bag module deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of
serious personal injury or death in a crash.
CAUTION: Make sure the side air bag module wiring harness is not pinched between the side air bag module and the mounting bracket.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in wiring harness damage.
Align the holes of the side air bag module bracket to the U-nuts on the backrest frame.
