NOTE:
- Seats with airbags are marked "SIDE AIRBAG" on the seat-back. Because the component parts (seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you install only the correct replacement parts.
- Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. If necessary, replace the seat-back cover.
- Take care not to tear the seams or damage the seat covers.
- Do not touch the OPDS sensor in the seat-back pad, and keep it away from oils. Oils can corrode the sensor causing it to fail.
- Put on gloves to protect your hands.
