Depending on the vehicle, it is possible to remove the seat covers (for maintenance, personalisation...).

Principle of removing a seat cover

Whether for the backrest or the seat cushion, always follow the removal movement A: do not tear off the hook-and-loop fasteners.

Precautions

When the covers are removed:

  • do not use the seats;
  • take care of the hook-and-loop fasteners.

Washing instructions

Observe the washing instructions shown on the covers (labels) in particular;

  • wash the covers separately from other textiles;
  • spin at a maximum speed of 800 rpm;
  • do not wash the covers more than 5 times.

Once dry, do not fold or stack the covers (risk of marking).

Risk of serious damage.

Depending on the vehicle, some covers have a marking to indicate that the front passenger seat is equipped with ISOFIX anchorages.

When refitting or replacing the cover, make sure it has the same marking as the original.

For safety reasons, carry out these operations with the vehicle stationary.

When refitting the seat covers, make sure the seat belt buckles and ISOFIX anchorages are clear.
