process. If the vehicle has been exposed to extreme cold or hot temperatures, the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a temperature
within the limits, 6°C to 36°C (42°F to 97°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.
-
Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before carrying out the OCS system reset and nothing is placed on the seat during
the process.
-
Make sure a minimum 8-second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON before the carrying out the OCS system
reset process.
