Note
The seat-occupied sensor is only fitted on the front passenger's
seat.
Caution
As, in the original as-delivered vehicle condition, the tabs -4-
of the seat-occupied sensor mat -6- are fitted beneath the
cross-piece -5- of the seat pan -1-, the seat-occupied sensor
cannot be removed without it being destroyed.
In the case of service kits already fitted, the tabs -4- of the seat-
occupied sensor mat -6- are positioned above the cross-piece
-5- of the seat pan -1-. The service kits can thus be removed
without being destroyed.
