Working On Seat Occupant Detection System For Front Passenger Airbag Deactivation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The seat occupant detection system sensor must not be bent.
A damaged sensor must be replaced.
The mat, the fleece, and all covers must be fitted without any folds.
Make sure the seat cushion and cover are positioned correctly when installing.
Replace all upholstery clips or clips and make sure they are positioned correctly on the seat.
Make sure that no objects are placed on the seat when performing the basic setting.
Using seat covers (for example cushions) impairs the function of the seat occupant detection system and the effectiveness of the airbag system.
