![]() To start we need to disconnect the battery and remove the seats, however there are 2 ways of doing this depending on whether you have manual or electric seats. If you have manual seats you can disconnect the battery now, if you have electric you have to move the seat and remove the Torx 50 bolts then disconnect the battery. I always wait about 30 minutes after disconnecting the battery before messing with airbag plugs.
Lets get the seat out, you will need to grab a Torx 50 tool and undo the 4 Torx bolts: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Before pulling the seat out remember to remove the seat belt adjuster from the bottom of the seat otherwise you will either break it or lose the retaining clip (which i have done in the past): ![]() ![]() Now unplug the airbag and pre tensioner wires (Your battery should be disconnected): ![]() Now pull the seat out of your car. You need to remove the sill trims from the front and rear: ![]() Now remove the trim from the bottom part of the B pillar: ![]() Remove the 17mm bolt holding the bottom of the seat belt in place: ![]() Lift the corner of the rear seat base and pull the carpet from underneath: ![]() Now you can pull the carpet all the way up and from here you can see the side impact sensor: ![]() The sensor is held in place with 2 Torx 30 bolts just undo both of them and replace the sensor, after that just put it all back together in reverse order and that's it you are done. This guide is the same for both sides of the car. Disclaimer: You are responsible for any work or modifications carried out on your car and you undertake any such work at your own risk.

![]() Please note that this is for the earlier cars with the earlier fuse box
![]() The impact sensor is in the same position on the later cars, the difference being that the impact sensor is smaller and has an Orange connector ![]() Russ
