Service Information on modified seat covers

When replacing seat covers it should be noted that modified seat covers are used as of 9/98.

On the previous version the upholstery wadding (backing) is pushed into pockets in the center area of the seat cover and stuck onto the side area of the seat supports.

Following a new technical development, on the new version the upholstery wadding (backing) is sewn straight onto the seat cover over the entire width.

This dispenses with having to stick the upholstery wadding (backing) onto the side area of the seat supports.

The modification to the seat covers affects all model 210 vehicles with the fabric and leather version of the equipment line Elegance and Avantgard.

Not affected are all rear seats with IKS (integrated child seat) special equipment on the sedan and T-model as well as the third row of seats on the T-model.

Note:

The previous seat covers (1) and supports (4, 5 and 6) will no longer be available as a spare part in the future.
