3. For installation reference, trace the position of the heater pad (1a) on the seat back (1b) being serviced.
4. Using a heat gun, carefully warm the heater pad to loosen the adhesive and slowly peel the heater pad from the foam.
   NOTE:

   If the foam is damaged during removal of the heater pad, it must be replaced with NEW foam.

INSTALLATION 

1. If a new heated seat pad is being used, remove the protective film for the adhesive surfaces.
2. If the heated seat pad is being reused, apply the recommended spray adhesive.
3. Inspect the surface of the seat foam prior to installing the heated seat pad.
4. Position the new heater pad onto the seat back in the same location as traced previously. Make sure the wire harness is routed correctly.
   CAUTION:

   During heated seat element replacement, be careful not to fold or crease the new heating element. Folds or creases will cause premature heated seat element failure.

5. Firmly press the new heater pad onto the foam. Make sure the adhesive is fully adhered to the foam.
6. Wait the amount of time as indicated by the manufacturer of the spray adhesive or the heated pad supplier, before installing the seat cover.
