Removal

NOTE: For parts identification and location, refer to Seat - Exploded View, Front Seat - Exploded View, Front.

Passenger seat

1. NOTICE: Do not install a new heater mat on a front passenger seat cushion. If a new cushion heater mat is needed on the front passenger seat, an Occupant Classification System (OCS) service kit equipped with a heater mat must be installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS (Occupant Classification System).

Install a new OCS (Occupant Classification System) service kit.

Driver seat

2. Remove the driver seat cushion cover. For additional information, refer to Seat Cushion Cover- Front Seat Cushion Cover - Front.

3. NOTICE: Do not reinstall any heater mat after removal. The adhesive will not adhere correctly to the foam pad, causing it to bunch up or shift out of place. A new heater mat must be installed. Failure to follow these instructions can result in heated seat component damage and system failure.

Carefully peel and remove the cushion heater mat from the seat cushion foam pad and route the wire harness through the cushion foam pad opening.
- It is acceptable for a thin layer of foam to peel away with the old heater mat. The new heater mat will adhere to the foam pad, but if foam tearing occurs or if any pieces of foam are removed, install a new foam pad.


Installation

1. Install a new heater mat straight on the foam pad and without any wrinkles that may show through the cover after installation.

2. Install the seat cushion cover. For additional information, refer to Seat Cushion Cover- Front Seat Cushion Cover - Front.
