Seat Cushion

NOTE:

For passenger seat this is very important: As a standard practice, any repairs or maintenance to the seat cushion (Trim replacement, Seat Heater, Foam repair) requires replacement of the OCM (Occupant Classification Module) or ODS (Occupant Detection Sensor) and seat cushion together. The OCM or ODS is calibrated to the replacement foam and trim at the service kit supplier. The OCM or ODS service kits come together with the seat foam, trim material, and seat heater if equipped.

NOTE:

This procedure only applies to the drivers seat.
