Backprobing Spring-loaded Lock Connectors
When checking voltage or resistance on this type of
connector the first time, you must remove the retainer
to insert the tester probe from the wire side.
NOTE: It is not necessary to reinstall the removed
retainer; the terminals will stay locked in the connector
housing.

To remove the retainer (A), insert a flat-tip screwdriver
(B) between the connector body and the retainer, then
carefully pry out the retainer. Take care not to break the
connector.

Seats w i t h Side Airbags
Seats with side airbags have a "SIDE AIRBAG" label 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.

Because the seats are made by more than one
manufacturer, make sure you replace any seat
components (seat-back cover, frame, etc.) with the
correct parts. The name of the seat manufacturer is
indicated on the seat-back.
The manufacturer name is also on the seat-back frame
and the seat-back pad. Confirm the name when you
exchange these parts.
• When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid,
and do not spray steam on the seat.
• Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace
the seat-back cover.
• After a collision in which the side airbag was
deployed, replace the seat-back cover and the side
airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split,
it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is
deformed, it must be replaced.
• Never put after market accessories on the seat
(covers, pads, seat heaters, etc.).
