Passive Occupant Detection System, Safety Precautions

WARNING:
  • After every repair on the passenger seat in which the seat and/or backrest cover was "disengaged" basic setting on passenger occupant detection system control module -J706- must be performed. Perform basic setting with a diagnostic tester that has "Guided Fault Finding". Refer to SEAT OCCUPIED RECOGNITION, PERFORMING BASIC SETTING .
  • Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system mat.
  • A leaking mat must be replaced (repair kit).
  • Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system pressure hose.
  • Seat occupied recognition (repair kit) components must not fall on hard surfaces.
  • Seat occupied recognition components must not come in contact with grease.
  • There is the danger that the seat occupied recognition components may be damaged by sharp objects when working on the seat. It is necessary to avoid this danger.
  • The mat, the crease and various covers must be fitted to be free of folds.
  • When installing, ensure upholstery and cover are installed correctly.
  • Replace all upholstery clips and clip connectors from cover, ensure it is positioned correctly on seat when doing so.
  • System basic setting is only possible at temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (32°F and 104°F).
  • Make sure that no objects are placed on seat when performing basic setting.
  • Use of seat covers, such as cushions or something similar, impairs seat occupied recognition function and airbag system effectiveness.
