Note. There are different seat pan upper frames, with and without a seat depth adjuster. A seat pan without seat depth adjuster is used for describing taking the seat pan apart and putting it back together. The procedure is similar for taking a seat pan that has a seat depth adjuster apart and putting it back together. When removing the seat pan, make sure the bushings in the bearing points (upper and lower frame threaded connection) are not damaged. These bushing cannot be replaced with workshop materials. The upper and lower frames of the seat pan cannot be separated on the following front seats: manual standard seat and manual sport seat. The upper and lower frames of the seat pan can be separated from each other and replaced individually on the following front seats: power standard seat, power sport seat, comfort seat and super sport seat.

Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before handling pyrotechnical components (for example, disconnecting the connector), the person handling them must "discharge static electricity". For example, by briefly touching the door striker pin. |
