Some customers may comment on a slit or cut in the front floor carpet or rubber floor covering under the driver's seat. This slit is an access cut for servicing the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM).
Carpet Only Shown
The slit (1) is more noticeable when the seat track assembly is in the full rear position. DO NOT replace the front floor carpet or rubber floor covering. A service replacement carpet or mat will contain the same slit.
Carpet Only Shown
Please inform your customer that the slit in the carpet or rubber floor covering is normal and provides service access to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) (1).
Carpet Only Shown
If the customer still expresses a concern about the slit, show the customer another comparable vehicle. The new body style pickup and utility will have the same floor trim line with the access cover (1) under the left front seat. The access cover should
be pulled back and pressed down for the best appearance.
