Airbag light after swapping to standard seats

hoping someone can help with my airbag light problem.
Basically the 197 i have didn't originally come with recaro seats but someone retrofitted them before i bought the car, i have now swapped them for some standard 200 seats and now the airbag light is on which I half expected. I have found plenty of info going to recaros from standard seats however I cant seem to find anything going back to the standard seats. Any info appreciated

Thanks
 
It seems it was turned off in CLiP system, so you will need to find someone with CLiP to programme in the extra airbag you've now got.
 
Should be a simple process then I imagine, will have to look for a renault specialist nearby

Cheers
 
I saw this in a Mk 2 Clio basically the car senses the extra airbag not present in the the Recaro seat or the switch that knows the seat is in tilt forward mode along the rail is not sitting right also the airbag light can come on if the resistance in the airbag is outside the limits ( for example lower than 3 Ohms or higher than 4 Ohms a corroded connector can push the ohms above the upper limit. The Mk 2 Clio that I dealt with had an airbag computer changed with one configured for a 3 door and was picking up the extra resistance values on airbag circuits it did know it had, I'm pretty sure that was what it was and we reconfigured it with the Renault clip.
