FRONT SEAT TRACK ADJUSTER /MANUAL -OCS

REMOVAL

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death on vehicles equipped with the occupant classification system (OCS), only the occupant classification module (OCM) and the seat cushion trim may be serviced separately. All other components of the passenger side front seat cushion assembly must be serviced only as a complete factory-calibrated, assembled and tamper-evident service replacement package. This package includes the bladder, sensor, foam, wiring and a calibrated OCM. When installing this package always replace all of the existing components with the new components as a unit. Do not attempt to separate or disconnect any of the new OCS components in the service replacement package from each other, and do not attempt to reuse any of the replaced components in this or any other vehicle. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in failure of the passenger airbag to deploy when required, or in passenger airbag deployment when not required.
