Deploy Safe seat covers are constructed using a computerised controlled stitching process and a specialised thread that allows the side seams to split open upon deployment of an airbag.
For more information please refer to our Deploy Safe section on this website.
Yes, Deploy Safe has been tested by a world wide recognised automobile testing laboratory that is headquartered in Australia and Europe. Deploy Safe products have passed all their tests.
After extensively testing this new technology, Ilana is fully confident in its operation according to world standards. Quality and safety issues are very important to Ilana.
The testing was done on a "test group" that took into account different seat sizes, different mechanisms of integarted side airbags and different external factors such as weather, temperature etc. Deploy Safe was tested on an integrated side airbag mechanism very similar to the one in your car seat.
Ilana Accessories has tested these seat covers under special laboratory conditions and have been tested to conform within vehicle manufacturers standards for integrated side airbag deployment.
Deploy Safe seat covers provide no interference with the time required for deployment of side airbags according to vehicle manufacturers requirements. Deploy Safe seat covers are safe to use with integrated side airbags as long as they are fitted correctly.
Yes, if the side seam splits for any reason it CANNOT be repaired. Any attempt to re-sew the seam may interfere with the integrated side airbag deployment. Discard the seat cover after any side airbag activation. Incorrect fitting can prevent the seat airbag from inflating correctly in the event of a collision.

A universal size 25 Deploy Safe, 30 Deploy Safe and Tailor Made Deploy Safe packs have universal opening seams on BOTH sides of each seat cover. Each seat cover can be fitted on either driver or passenger seats.
However, Custom Made seat covers have universal opening seams on either left and/or right hand side of the seat cover only. Thus fitting can only be done according to the predetermined sides.

If you want seat covers to suit your vehicle in another material or colour then it would need to be custom made.
Ilanas Tailor Made packs are mass produced and as such we are always looking to release packs for the most popular makes and models available for sale in Australia.
Unfortunately, as there are many makes and models of cars released in Australia each year, we are unable to release a Tailor Made pack for each and every model.
Ilana concentrates on releasing Tailor Made packs for the most common vehicles to make our product available to a majority of the public.
To view the range and latest releases, please see the Tailor Made Packs range on our website.
Often when vehicle manufacturers upgrade models of vehicles the seats look quite similar to the previous model, but there can be slight changes to the dimensions of the seats, positioning of seat belts, positioning of headrests and armrests, etc.
So, while the seats may look similar our Tailor Made seat cover packs have been tailor made to suit the model listed on the packaging only.
Once we confirm we have the pattern and all the correct details for your vehicle, allow up to 10 working days for the seat covers to be manufactured.
If you need them in a hurry, we also have an Express Service for an additional cost, whereby the seat covers are made within 3 working days.
