Front Seat, Removing And Installing: Installing
Install in the reverse order of removal while noting the following:
Risk of injury due to involuntary deployment.
- Pay attention to the safety precautions when working with pyrotechnic components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
- Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, connecting a connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". For example, this can be done by briefly touching the door striker.
Equipment versions with seat position sensor: check the seat position sensor for damage.
Make sure the connectors are pushed in all the way and that they engage audibly.
-- Lift the front seat into the vehicle with the help of a second technician and align it.
- Manual front seat: the seat rails for the seat forward/back adjustment must engage parallel to each other.
-- Tighten the front bolts in the sequence -1-, -2-.
-- Remove the Airbag Lockout Adapter:VAS 6282 and connect the connector to the connector station in the floor. Refer to AIRBAG ADAPTER, CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING .
Repairing pyrotechnic components (for example the airbag and seat belt tensioner) incorrectly increases the risk of unintentional deployments when the battery is connected.
- The ignition must be on when connecting the battery.
- Make sure that no one is inside the vehicle at the time when the battery is connected.
-- Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition switched on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
Repairing pyrotechnic components (for example the airbag and seat belt tensioner) incorrectly increases the risk of injuries due to unintentional deployments when the ignition is switched on.
- If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected - >>indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up<< - the ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.
-- Move the front seat all the way forward and up.
-- Tighten the rear bolts in the sequence -3- and -4-.
If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75- indicates a fault after assembling, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
