Installation Instructions – Luxury Line
These seat covers are designed to be installed on the seats while they are in the vehicle whenever possible. They are also designed to tuck behind your original plastic panels whenever possible. According to make, model, and year the seats vary greatly. We have tried to cover most of them in these instructions. Should you or your customer have any questions, call Customer Service for additional help at 800-663-7750.
Warning: You must not obstruct the side impact air bags. If your seat has side impact air bags and your seat cover has not been properly modified either with velcro or a cutout, DO NOT INSTALL this cover. It could interfere with the deployment of the side impact air bags. Please call the company at 800-663-7750 for more information. We will make the necessary modifications to accommodate for air bags.
Warning: The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration recommends that passengers under the age of 12 not travel in the front seat of a motor vehicle. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration also requires new light-duty vehicles to be equipped with advanced airbag sensors that detect a front passenger’s body weight. In case of a frontal crash, if a front passenger’s body weight is less than 70 pounds, a sensor deactivates the airbag deployment to avoid causing death or serious injury that may result from the force of an airbag deployment. The extra weight of an aftermarket seat cover may be detected by an advanced airbag sensor as part of a passenger’s body weight. This extra weight could cause an airbag to deploy in case of a frontal crash if a person’s body weight is slightly less than 70 pounds because the sensor may add the aftermarket seat cover’s weight to that of the passenger’s and thus assume that a front passenger’s body weight is actually more than 70 pounds. A front passenger airbag may cause death or serious injury to a person who weighs less than 70 pounds.
Warning: On some new vehicles there may be an option for active headrests with a wire running into the headrests. These headrests are not designed to be removed, and allowances should have been made to allow installation of the seat covers without taking off these headrests. If no allowances have been made and you have Active Headrests with the wire running into the headrest, be sure to let us know so we can fix your seat covers.
