Pulling out lines

• Check that the edge clip on the wire harness is clipped into the relevant tab on the backrest frame -1- and clip it in if necessary. 
• When routing the line for the thorax airbag, always make sure that there is sufficient clearance between the line and the seat/backrest kinematics. Make sure that the line CANNOT get caught in the moving kinematics. 
• Check the horizontal position of the clip -2- and adjust it if necessary. 
• Press tie-wraps on the driver's airbag wiring harness into the take-up holes provided for them as shown -1- and check that they are fitted securely. 
• When routing the line from the driver's seat to the airbag, always check that the line is positioned exactly in the clearance area -1- between the 2nd and 3rd cross strut after fitting the backrest (particularly with Sport Plus). 
• Always fit the backrest shell first before pulling the airbag connector -1- and ground connection -2- out of the backrest trim.

Routing of airbag line

• Both tie-wraps N 906.666.01 -1- are only used on seats with heating. On seats without heating, the line remains unsecured in the sheetmetal well. 
• Press tie-wrap on the passenger's airbag wiring harness into the take-up hole provided for it as shown -1-  .
• Edge clip -inset- is clipped into the relevant tab on the backrest frame. 
• When routing the line for the thorax airbag, always make sure that there is sufficient clearance between the line and the seat/backrest kinematics. Make sure that the line CANNOT get caught in the moving kinematics. 
• Press tie-wraps on the passenger's airbag wiring harness horizontally -1- into the take-up holes provided for them and check that they are fitted securely. 
• When routing the line from the passenger seat to the airbag, always check that the line is positioned exactly in the clearance area -arrow- between the 2nd and 3rd cross strut after fitting the backrest (particularly with Sport Plus). Otherwise, there is a danger of crushing the cable. 
• Always fit the backrest shell first before pulling the airbag connector -1- and ground connection -2- out of the backrest trim

• -1- Fit commercially available adhesive felt at the left side of the driver's seat or passenger seat to protect the electric lines that can be routed over the edge area. 
• -2- Fit commercially available adhesive felt at the right side of the driver's seat or passenger seat to protect the electric lines that can be routed over the edge area. 

1. Before assembling the driver's seat or passenger seat, check the following points on the line routing.

   Driver's seat:

   Passenger seat:

2. Installation is performed in reverse order. Pay particular attention to the following:

   Tightening torque for screw securing backrest frame to seat frame: > Tightening torque 34 N.m (25 ft lb.) +/- 4 N.m (3 ft lb.)
