    Hyundai Tucson 2005: Airbag friendly seat covers?

    Hyundai Hyundai Advice Hyundai Tucson Hyundai Tucson Advice Hyundai Tucson 2005

    I RECENTLY bought a Hyundai Tucson Elite. The handbook warns to not fit seat covers because they may prevent the side airbags from working. Hyundai's service department told me of custom-made covers that leave the side of the seat free. What are your thoughts on this?

    I WOULD be careful about doing anything that might hinder the deployment of the airbag. An airbag activates with enough force to blow covers off the steering wheel or dash, but it might not be enough to clear a seat cover, even part of a seat cover. A cover that doesn't intrude into the area over the airbags would probably be OK, but make sure it does not cover the airbag in any way.
