  1. -1-  Padding with affixed mat for occupant classification system
  2. -2-  Occupant classification control unit

A mixed installation  , e.g. "old" padding and "new" control unit, is not permitted  .

The padding with affixed mat for occupant classification system and the occupant classification control unit are calibrated together by the manufacturer and must therefore only be replaced as a complete unit.

The occupant classification control unit must not  be coded.

The mat  for the occupant classification system must not  be removed  from the foam part.

Information 

The connector of the occupant detection control unit must be inserted straight as otherwise the seal will be damaged. The seating of the seal must then be checked.
