Inspect the side air bag deployment chute and the side air bag cavity in the seat back pad for any foreign objects. If any foreign objects are found remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of an air bag deployment.
WARNING:
Before installing the side air bag module, check it for damage and foreign objects. If the air bag module is damaged, replace it. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.

NOTE:
If installing a new seat side air bag module, use new retaining nuts. If the same seat side air bag module is to be reused then reuse the seat side air bag module nuts.
