Remove the headrest from the driver’s

seat by pushing in on the release buttons

supporting the headrest shafts and

lifting up on the headrest.

Repeat this procedure for the passenger

side seat.

Step 1

Select the correct headrest covers from the 4

headrest covers that come in the installation

kit. Use the headrest covers labeled to match

your vehicle’s headrest material.

Wrap the headrest covers over the headrests,

making sure that the crossed elastic edging

and internal label are at the back of each

headrest. Adjust the seams for a smoother

appearance.

Set headrests aside - do not reinstall at this

time.

Use the headrest

covers labeled to

match your vehicle’s

headrest material.

Installation Instructions - Seat Covers, Front Kit

Remove the driver side seatback tilt lever by

using a finger to lift and pull the top spring

clip wire up, and push toward the front of the

seat to unlock the lever from the shaft.

Repeat this procedure on the passenger

seat. Note that the spring clip open end

faces the rear of the vehicle on both the

driver and passenger sides of the vehicle.

Step 1

Once the spring clip is in the unlocked position,

pull the lever straight off the shaft. After remov-

ing the lever from the shaft, push the spring clip

back into the locked position, and set the lever

aside for now.

Repeat this procedure on the passenger seat.

Note that the passenger seat in 2-door vehicles

has one 2-arm lever, which removes the same

way as the single-arm levers in 4-door vehicles.

WARNING to preserve airbag functionality,

you MUST remove the seatback tilt levers

before placing the seat covers over the seats.

Step 1

Let the fabric flap drop into place, stretching

the fabric to make sure the seatback tilt

lever shaft protrudes through the hole in the

flap.

Repeat this procedure for the passenger

seat.

Note: Passenger side lever is different on

2-door vehicles.

Push the fabric back to expose the groove on

the shaft if necessary, and with the retaining clip

in the locked position on the seatback tilt lever,

slide the lever onto the shaft on the seat until

the retaining clip snaps into place.

Give the lever a tug once the clip has snapped

into place to make sure that the lever is secure

on the shaft.

Tilt the seatback forward and tuck the flap and

the straps at the bottom of the seat cover

between the seatback and the seat bottom, so

the straps are underneath the seat.

Bring the straps forward, and drape them over

the slide release bar at the front of the seat.

Repeat this procedure for the passenger seat.

Step 2

Before you tuck the flap at the bottom of the

cover between the seatback and bottom,

tuck the airbag flap into the airbag opening

with one hand, while at the same time

reaching up under the front of the seat cover

with the other hand to pull the airbag flap

tight and smooth inside the seat cover.

Repeat this procedure for the passenger

seat.

should lie flat and smooth

under the seat cover.

Installation Instructions - Seat Covers, Front Kit

Step 1

Attach the two ends of the elastic cords

to the closed end of the the s-hook. Attach the

s-hook to a cross-member or wire underneath the

seat, making sure to keep the cords away from

the seat adjustment tracks.

Attach the 4 nylon straps at the front of the

underside of the seat to the buckles.

Give the straps a gentle tug to snug the covers.

Verify the straps do not interfere with or unplug

any of the wiring found under the seat.

Make sure that the seat will tilt forward and back,

and slide from front to back without the seat rail

snagging the straps.

Step 2

Slip the seat bottom cover over the seat, working

the fabric toward the rear of the seat. Carefully fit

the hole in the fabric over and around the seat

height adjustment lever.

Tuck the nylon straps between the seatback and

the seat bottom, and bring them to the front of the

underside of the seat.

Tuck the flap between the seatback and seat

bottom, and attach the hook-&-loop fabric tab on

the inside of the seat cover flap to the carpeted

area underneath the rear of the seat bottom.

Note: Tilting the

seatback forward slightly

will allow easier access

to tuck the straps and

the flap between the

seatback and seat bottom.
