NOTE:
• With side airbag ('02-04 models): Seats with a side
airbag 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.
• With side airbag ('02-04 models): 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.
• With side airbag ('02-04 models): Do not touch the
OPDS sensor in the seat-back pad. Keep the sensor
free from grease, oils and moisture, as they can
damage the sensor. Oils can corrode the sensor, and
cause it to malfunction.
• Put on gloves to protect your hands.
