Instructions: The following describes the removal and installation work on the left side of the car. The removal and installation work on the right side of the car is carried out in a similar manner. The following describes the removal and installation work of the seat with manual adjustment. The removal and installation of the seat with electrical adjustment is carried out in a similar manner.
Using the longitudinal adjustment mechanism, move the seat as far forward as possible. Unscrew screws "3" and "4". Using the longitudinal adjustment mechanism, move the seat as far back as possible. Remove the negative terminal from the battery. Unscrew screws "1" and "2". Remove the wiring harness from its mounting socket in the floor.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharges can cause the airbags to deploy unintentionally. Therefore, before disconnecting the squib and ground wires, the mechanic must remove the electrostatic voltage. To do this, you can touch, for example, the unpainted metal part of the door lock.
Disconnect the seat wiring harnesses from the connector (quantity depends on the vehicle configuration).
Place your right hand between the backrest and the cushion, and grab the front of the cushion with your left hand. Hold the seat in this way and remove the seat from the vehicle. Connect the airbag adapter -VAS 6281- to the side airbag wiring harness connector "1".
Caution: Only disconnect the airbag adapter -MS 6281- from the seat wiring harness after it has been installed.

Connect the remaining seat wiring harnesses to the connector (quantity depends on the vehicle configuration). Turn on the ignition. Connect the negative terminal to the battery. Using the longitudinal adjustment mechanism, move the seat as far forward as possible. Tighten screw "3" on the tunnel side to a torque of 40 Nm. Tighten screw "4" on the threshold side to a torque of 40 Nm. Using the longitudinal adjustment mechanism, move the seat as far back as possible. Tighten screw "1" on the tunnel side to a torque of 40 Nm. Tighten screw "2" on the threshold side to a torque of 40 Nm.
