Then unclip the B1 and F3 positions by pressing the corresponding clips. The violet sensor cable fits into position F3, in which there is a violet-white color cable, and the blue cable goes to the B1 position of the brain to identify the reversion, in which there is a blue-black color cable. Because the seats are down, you need to strip the cables a little, and then connect them with the cables in the correct sockets.

Finally, with the soldering iron melt a little bit of the cloth on the joints and, once you put an insulating tape, you grab both cables with a tie so they do not hang.
