I need to remove my drivers seat to repair it. Will disconnecting the battery cable protect me from the airbag inflating?

2003 XC90 T6 AWD

 

Removing the front seat



Remove the battery lead. See .



Remove:
■ the four side pieces over the screws for the seat. Pull the front side pieces straight forward and the rear side pieces backwards and upwards to detach them
■ four screws.
■ the side panel. See
■ the seat belt from the seat
■ the connector.
Disconnect any remaining connectors.
Remove the seat.

To prevent electric static discharge problems:
When removing a seat with a SIPS (side impact protection system) module from a car, the seat must be grounded. This is due to the danger of static electricity.
Detach the chair from its screwed joint. Do *not* lift the seat out of the car yet.
Strip a long cable at both ends. Secure one end to the rear mounting on the chair. Secure the other end in the car or in the car hoist.

 

Got it, thanks for the quick reply

 

Or just take the key out. You'll be fine

 

You're saying no need to disconnect the battery? Just make sure key not in ignition.

 

Yep, that's how we do it. You can disconnect the battery if you want, it doesn't take long.

Just don't turn the key on at any time when the seat is disconnected or else you'll need to have the SRS light reset.

 

Ok, thanks
