    WARNING: Check the air bag deployment chute for damage. The deployment chute and zipper must not be repaired if there is any damage to the deployment chute. The seat back trim cover and deployment chute must be installed new as a unit. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
    WARNING: The deployment seam cannot be repaired or resewn. A trim cover requiring replacement of the bolster or side facing must be replaced as a unit.
    WARNING: If the air bag deployment chute is not correctly positioned and completely zipped, the side air bag cannot function correctly. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.
    WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
    WARNING: Carry a live side air bag module with the air bag and tear seam pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
    WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment which can result in personal injury.
    CAUTION: When installing the seat backrest trim panel, be careful not to damage the J-hooks. If the J-hooks are damaged, the seat backrest trim panel must be replaced.
    NOTE: Front seat backrest trim covers installed on seats with side air bags cannot be repaired. The front seat backrest trim covers are to be installed new. Cleaning is permissible.

    6. WARNING: Inspect the mounting surfaces of the side air bag module for any foreign objects before installing the side air bag module. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
    WARNING: Inspect the side air bag deployment chute and the side air bag cavity in the seat back pad for any foreign objects. If any foreign objects are found remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
    WARNING: Before installing the side air bag module into the deployment chute, check it for damage and foreign objects. If the air bag module is damaged; replace it. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
    WARNING: If the air bag cover has separated or the air bag material has been exposed, install a new side air bag module. Do not attempt to repair the air bag module. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
    WARNING: Check the side air bag deployment chute for damage. The deployment chute must not be repaired. If there is any damage to the deployment chute, the seat back trim cover and deployment chute must be installed new as a unit.
    WARNING: If the air bag deployment chute is not properly positioned, the side air bag may not deploy properly.
    NOTE: The alignment pin will only allow the side air bag module to be installed to the seat back mounting bracket one way.

  6. Position the side air bag module into the deployment chute.
    • Position the side air bag module into the deployment chute with the alignment pin offset to the top and the electrical connector to the bottom of the seat back. This will position the alignment pin correctly when the side air bag module and deployment chute are mounted to the seat back frame mounting bracket.
    • The side air bag module mounting studs and alignment pin must come through the deployment chute stud openings.
    7. WARNING: Inspect the mounting surfaces of the side air bag module and the seat back frame mounting bracket for any foreign objects before installing the side air bag module. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of an air bag deployment.
