Hi all!

I need manual how to disassembly front seats airbags (airbag in the seat back I have disassembled - only the lower airbag don't know yet how to dismount from the seat - attached photo). I suppose that I need to remove whole lower cushion to do that but without any support I don't want to do it.

Thanks in advance.

They call that the pelvis airbag. So I am attaching the info below on how to remove that.

I don't see where they have you remove the cushion. I have not done this on this vehicle but they say that the cover just needs to come off and then you can access it on the back of the cover.

Do you have codes pointing you to this for replacement? Just looking for a little more detail which would help others in the future if they have a similar issue.

Below is what the manual has on this. Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks

Kasekenny1 thanks a lot! I did it before your answer. I found (learned myself on one seat) hot to remove whole plastic with pelvis bag. After I have learned it rest of seats I did in 20 minutes. So very simple action. If necessary I can explain for future and for anyone who will need it. Thanks!!

That is great.

That is wonderful that you figured it out based on the other seat. Yes. Please share any info that you learned. Just like the other issue with the retrofit, your info will surely help others.

Thanks again for using 2CarPros.
