Seat Cushion Trim And Pad

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Front passenger seat is equipped with an Occupant Classification System sensor and control module. Do not disassemble front passenger seat cushion assembly or remove the trim as this will affect the Occupant Classification System calibration.
  • Always replace passenger seat cushion as an assembly.
  • When removed, the passenger seat cushion must always be placed pan side UP to prevent damage.
  • During installation, the wire harness clips must be reinstalled in the holes they were originally in. Do not add additional clips.
  • The Occupant Classification System control module can only be replaced as part of the seat cushion assembly.
NOTE: If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the seat must be inspected for damage. Refer to COLLISION DIAGNOSIS .
