Passive Occupant Detection System, Safety Precautions
• After every repair on the passenger seat in which the seat and/or backrest cover was "disengaged" basic setting on Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706) must be performed. Perform basic setting with a diagnostic tester that has "Guided Fault Finding".
• Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system mat.
• A leaking mat must be replaced (repair kit).
• Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system pressure hose.
• Seat occupied recognition (repair kit) components must not fall on hard surfaces.
• Seat occupied recognition components must not come in contact with grease.
• There is the danger that the seat occupied recognition components may be damaged by sharp objects when working on the seat. It is necessary to avoid this danger.
• The mat, the crease and various covers must be fitted to be free of folds.
• When installing, ensure upholstery and cover are installed correctly.
• Replace all upholstery clips and clip connectors from cover, ensure it is positioned correctly on seat when doing so.
• System basic setting is only possible at temperatures between 32 degrees F and 104 degrees F (0 degrees and +40 degrees ) Celsius.
• Make sure that no objects are placed on seat when performing basic setting.
• Use of seat covers, such as cushions or something similar, impairs seat occupied recognition function and airbag system effectiveness.
