Seat Cushion Heater Mat - Rear: Installation

NOTE: Always install a new cushion foam pad and cushion heater mats together.

NOTE: The cushion heater mat with the long wire harness goes on the RH side.

Install new cushion heater mats onto the new cushion foam pad.
1. Position a cushion heater mat onto the cushion foam pad so the opening aligns to the hook-and-loop strip in the cushion foam pad.
2. Tuck the cushion heater mat into the cushion foam pad trenches.
3. Make sure the cushion heater mat stays in place. Remove the paper strips from under the cushion heater mat and adhere to the cushion foam pad, laying it flat with no wrinkles.
4. Route the cushion heater mat wire harness and electrical connector through the cushion foam pad to the other side.
