Safety Systems & Airbag Integration
This system is designed to retain all factory Toyota safety systems when installed per the provided instructions.
Factory seat-belt mounting location is fully retained.
All original SRS airbag functions remain operational.
The in-seat airbag removed during any aftermarket seat installation is correctly compensated using a custom, vehicle-specific airbag proxy included with the kit.
No airbag warning lights when installed properly.
Seat Heating & Wiring Integration
scheel-mann KLIMA seats include heating and cooling elements with aftermarket switches.
If your Tacoma did not come with factory seat heaters, a heater extension harness is included for use with the scheel-mann wiring.
If your 3rd Gen Tacoma did come with factory seat heaters, an OEM-retention heater harness and mounting bracket are available to retain your factory heater switches.
Important:
If your 3rd Gen Tacoma originally had factory seat heaters, your scheel-mann seat must be equipped with the Tolerance Stack thermistor. The stock thermistor supplied with the seat will not function correctly with the Toyota system.

Tacoma/scheel-mann KLIMA driver seat mounting system
If your 3rd Gen Tacoma came with factory heated seats and you want to continue using the same in-dash seat heater button controls, there are a few extra items needed to make this happen correctly. These items are included when you select 'yes' for factory heat:
- Custom thermister needs to be installed by scheel-mann (+$100)
- Additional heater harness and bracket needed (+$125)
