Section 44 (Seat System - Seats): General Description: Caution

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Subaru Tribeca. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the seat cushion cover is removed or replaced, make sure to perform passenger detection system adjustment after installing the seat to the vehicle. Refer to SUBARU SELECT MONITOR SYSTEM CALIBRATION (REZEROING), OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor.

If system adjustment is not performed, the occupant detection system may not function properly.

The passenger detection system (passenger seat only) control unit and the passenger detection sensor are fixed to the seat cushion frame. Never remove the passenger detection control unit or the pressure sensor from the seat cushion frame.
Do not replace the seat cushion pad by itself. Always replace the seat cushion pad and frame assembly as a set. The seat cushion pad and cushion frame are adjusted as a set at the time of manufacture. If cushion pads and cushion frames are combined from those of other vehicles or other sets, the passenger detection system may not operate properly.
If the seat cushion cover is removed, make sure to replace the wire on the seat cushion side with a new wire.
When removing the front seat and second-row seat, follow cautions given in the airbag information. Refer to GENERAL DESCRIPTION CAUTION, General Description.
