Im trying to switch my old torn seats with a volvo s70 SE leather seats. I thought it was as simple as removing the 4 screws on the base of the seats and unplugging the wire harness, but Ive been reading something about disengaging the SIPS airbags. Ive tried looking for info but havent been able to find much on it. VADIS also mentions the SIPS but to be completely honest Im having a hard time understanding the diagrams. Can anyone direct me to a decent write up or provide simple instruction on how to remove them. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

It's really pretty simple. However, to avoid triggering the SRS light that you will not be able to reset, disconnect the battery 30 minutes prior to disconnecting the seat. Also, on the 850's and 960's there is a air bag trigger protector that should be installed to safeguard the air bag.
