REMOVAL

REMOVAL

  1. Before proceeding with the following repair procedure, review all warnings and cautions. (Refer to 23 - Body/Seats - Warning)

    WARNING:

    The Seat Weight Sensor is a sensitive, calibrated unit and must be handled carefully. Do not drop or handle roughly. If dropped or damaged, replace with another sensor. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death.

    WARNING:

    The front passenger seat must be handled carefully as well. When removing the seat, be careful when setting on floor not to drop. If dropped, the sensor may be inoperative. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death.

    WARNING:

    When the seat is on the floor, no one should sit in the front passenger seat. This uneven force may damage the sensing ability of the seat weight sensors. If sat on and damaged, the sensor may be inoperative. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death.




    NOTE:

    If equipped with a traveling seat belt anchor.


    2.
