Seat install
Looking to install new seats in the C5. I have, as you know air bags in the seats. My new ssats will not. How do I get around having a air bag light when the new seats are installed
Thanks

I honestly didn't know you had airbags in your seats..Really I didn't.
Even though my car has several airbags, none are in the seats. That being said, when I installed the Corbeau A4's in my car, I simply left the wiring unplugged and everything works just fine with no codes or lights.

Do you have a tilt back rest and if so I hear that Corbeau has
the lever on the inside next to the console. How are you
working that?? Is there a trick- for operation-thanks-joe

OK ...you guys are right, there are no air bags in the seat. As far as the seat back recliner handle the ones I are looking at have the handle on the proper side.
Thanks for the help

Seats reversed, lever against the tunnel. It's a bit difficult to reach my long skinny fingers down to get to it but I can. Some people drill a hole in it and attach a loop of cord. I will also when I need to remove the seats sometime.

Reversing the seats so the back rest lever is on the inside worked great. I am making a loop to attach to the handle. Although my son grabbed the seats to put in his C4....oh well they make more
