1	Front Seat Cushion Cover Procedure Separate the seat cushion from the seat cushion pad by pulling the cover away from the pad.
2	Front Seat Cushion Heater NOTE: The passenger seat belt presence sensor and heat mat, if equipped, are integral parts of the seat cushion pad.
3	Front Seat Cushion Pad NOTE: Separate the seat cushion heater mat from the seat cushion pad by pulling the heater mat away from the pad. Use a heat gun to loosen the glue : moving slowly from one end to the other, slowly peeling the heater mat up as you go. This makes removal easier and ensures minimum damage to the underlying foam. Be careful not to use overly high temperatures or hold the heat gun in one place for too long as this can damage the foam.
