- Foreign matter in the seat weight sensor components may cause the system to operate (deploy) improperly. Always make sure that no foreign matter can get into the seat weight sensor.
- Disassembling the seat weight sensor, or tightening any of the nuts and bolts installed to the sensor body may cause it to operate (deploy) improperly. Never disassemble the seat weight sensor or tighten any of the nuts or bolts installed to the body of the sensor.
