-
Inspect the side air bag deployment chute and the side air bag cavity in the seat back pad for any foreign objects. If any foreign objects are
found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
-
Before installing the side air bag module into the deployment chute, check it for damage and foreign objects. If the air bag module is damaged,
replace it. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
-
If the air bag cover has separated or the air bag material has been exposed, install a new side air bag module. Do not attempt to repair the air
bag module. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of an air bag deployment.
-
Check the side air bag deployment chute for damage. The deployment chute must not be repaired. If there is any damage to the deployment
chute, the seat back trim cover and deployment chute must be installed new as a unit.
-
If the air bag deployment chute is not correctly positioned, the side air bag may not deploy correctly.
NOTE: The alignment pin will only allow the side air bag module to be installed to the seat back mounting bracket one way.
Position the side air bag module into the deployment chute.
-
Position the side air bag module into the deployment chute with the alignment pin offset to the top and the electrical connector to the bottom of
the seat back. This will position the alignment pin correctly when the side air bag module and deployment chute are mounted to the seat back
frame mounting bracket.
-
The side air bag module mounting studs and alignment pin must come through the deployment chute stud openings.
5. WARNING:
-
Inspect the mounting surfaces of the deployment chute and the seat back frame mounting bracket for any foreign objects, before
installing the side air bag module/deployment chute assembly. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
-
Front seat back trim covers installed on seats equipped with side air bags cannot be repaired; they are to be replaced. Cleaning is
permissible.
Install the side air bag module onto the front seat back frame mounting bracket. Install the nuts.
-
The deployment chute should not have any wrinkles or folds where it contacts the seat back frame mounting bracket.
