WARNING:
The following precautions must be taken before carrying out the following procedure on the front passenger seat:
- Park the vehicle on level ground.
- Make sure the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system is stabilized at a temperature in the range of 5°C to 48°C (41°F to 118°F) and is not exposed to temperatures outside that range.
- Make sure the front passenger seat is empty and dry.
- Make sure the front passenger seat repair is complete and all attached components (head restraint, seat side shield) are correctly installed.
- Make sure nothing is placed in the map pockets (if equipped) of the front passenger seat.
- Make sure nothing is underneath the front passenger seat.
- Make sure no non-factory installed items (seat covers, DVD screens) are on or contacting the front passenger seat. If any non-factory items were installed to the seat, remove the item(s) and communicate to the customer that any alteration/modification to the front passenger seat may affect performance of the OCS system. Refer to the Owner's Literature .
- Make sure the seat is correctly installed in the vehicle.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect operation of the OCS system and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE:
Make sure the Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) weight sensor bolt protection brackets are correctly installed to the seat track and that it does not contact the cushion side shield, wire harness or any other surrounding parts. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the incorrect operation of the OCS
system.
