GENERAL WARNINGS
IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to use any type of seat cover that is not specifically designed
for this type of seat. When replacing, take the greatest care to install in the correct position: the
wording SIDE BAG must be on the same side of the squab as the side bag module.
Before disconnecting the seat connections to the air bag system (leads with yellow sheath), dis-
connect both battery terminals, take them out carefully and WAIT AT LEAST 10 MINUTES.
Whenever working on the air bag system, it is OBLIGATORY to check system function using
special test equipment at the end of the procedure.
It is STRICTLY NECESSARY to observe the contents of identification and warning plates on the
side bag module whenever the module is handled.
When replacing the module, take off the removable label (1) on the new module and apply it to
the front part of the seat structure at more or less the point indicated in the following figure so
that it is legible with the seat fitted. Also record the serial number in the special log.
If the seat structure is to be replaced and the side bag module transferred, the above label must
be transferred from the old to the new structure.
1. New side bag module
2. Removable self-adhesive plate
