“While seat covers offer practical benefits, improper selection can pose risks. Key issues to watch for include:”

Hazard 1: Interference with Side Airbag Deployment

• Choose seat covers with pre-cut airbag access points to avoid blocking deployment.
• Avoid fully wrapped rigid materials.

Hazard 2: Flammable or Toxic Materials

• Look for flame-retardant certification and avoid low-quality synthetic fibers (prone to releasing harmful gases under heat).

Hazard 3: Unsecured Movement

• Loose covers can shift during sudden stops, compromising driver control. Opt for designs with non-slip buckles or Velcro fasteners.

Conclusion: Prioritize original manufacturer or reputable brands, and always test seat functions after installation.
