SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS c o m p o n e n t locations (see page 24-11) and the
precautions and procedures (see page 24-13) before
p e r f o r m i n g repairs or service.
NOTE:
• Seats w i t h a side airbag have a "SIDE A I R B A G " label
on the seat-back. Because the c o m p o n e n t parts (seat-
back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats w i t h and w i t h o u t
airbags are different, make sure you install only the
correct replacement parts.
• Do not repair any tears or frayed spots of the seat-
back cover. If necessary, replace the seat-back cover.
• Take care not to tear the seams or damage the seat
covers.
• On the passenger's seat w i t h side airbag, do not
touch the OPDS sensor in the seat-back pad, and keep
it away f r o m oil. Oil can corrode the sensor causing it
to fail.
• Put on gloves to protect your hands.
