- Remove the complete service kit.

CAUTION: The pressure hose and the Seat Occupied Recognition Mat - 1 - must not be kinked under any circumstances during repairs.







Service kit, installing

NOTE: The hard foam insert in the crease is not included in the service kit. Therefore, reuse the hard foam insert again in the seat crease.

- Guide the Seat Occupied Recognition Pressure Sensor -G452 and Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module -J706 from above through the seat pan without separating the electrical connections.
- Pull the crease between seat pan and Seat Occupied Recognition Mat - 1 - so that it is smooth (free of folds).
- Secure the Seat Occupied Recognition Mat - 1 - with the clips - 2 - and - 3 - (Qty. 2).







1 - Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module -J706

- Installing
- Secure Seat Occupied Recognition Pressure Sensor -G452-- 4 -.
- Secure the Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module -J706 with the bolts - 2 - (Qty. 2) to 2.5 Nm.
- Connect harness connector - 6 -.
- Upholster the seat pan, thereby all upholstery clips must be attached and be installed at the original position, for electric seat.

Further installation is performed in the reverse order of removal.
- After installing the passenger seat in the vehicle, the following program must be performed under "Airbag" in Guided Fault Finding.
