t  The pressure hose of the mat must not be kinked.
t  The components of the seat recognition (repair kit) must not fall on hard surfaces.
t  The components of the seat recognition must not come into contact with grease.
t  There is always a danger that the components of the seat recognition may be damaged by pointed/sharp objects when working on the seat. This danger must be prevented.
t  The mat, the fleece and all other covers must fitted without folds/creases.
t  Ensure when installing that the seat padding and cover are correctly installed.
t  Renew all padding clips and clip connections on cover, ensure they are positioned correctly on the seat.
t  The basic setting of the system is only possible between temperatures 0 ° Celsius and + 40 ° Celsius.
t  Ensure that no object is on the seat before and/or during the basic settings.
t  The use of additional items on the seat, such as cushions or similar, impairs the functioning of the seat occupied recognition system and can therefore prevent the airbag system from functioning correctly.
