Seat Backrest - Front: Assembly

    NOTE: Inspect the backrest support and retainers for damage. If any damaged, loose or detached retainers are found, new retainers must be installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in backrest support failure.
  1. Position the backrest support in front of the backrest frame and install the retainers from the front side.
    • Install the 2 lower retainers to the backrest frame.
    • Use a suitable tool to crimp and tighten the 2 metal upper retainers over the backrest support and backrest frame wire.
  2. WARNING: Before installing the seat side air bag module/deployment chute assembly:
    • Inspect the side air bag module and mounting surfaces for any damage or foreign material.
    • Remove any foreign material from the mounting surfaces of the deployment chute, the seat backrest frame mounting bracket and the air bag module cavity in the seat backrest foam pad.
    • Install new parts if damaged.

    Failure to follow these instructions may result in the seat side air bag deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
    WARNING: If the seat side air bag cover has been damaged or separated from its mounting, or if the air bag material has been exposed, install a new seat side air bag module. Never try to repair the seat side air bag module. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the seat side air bag deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

    Install the side air bag to the backrest frame with the locator pin correctly positioned and install the 2 side air bag nuts.

    • Tighten to 7 Nm (62 lb-in).
  3. Install the wire harness to the backrest frame as noted in disassembly and attach the pin-type retainers.

  5. WARNING: Make sure the backrest foam pad is correctly installed over the backrest frame and that the seat side air bag module is centered in the opening of the backrest foam pad.
