If the electric seat is squeezed into such items during the movement process, it may cause explosion or even fire and other accidents, seriously injuring drivers and passengers!  Please refer to and at the start of the chapter on page 65. ● Do not place lighters and other flammable and explosive products in the car storage space, boxes or other objects on the surface, especially in summer, the high temperature in the car may cause the lighter to spontane- ously ignite.

WARNING Only seat covers and shrouds that are expressly permitted for the vehicle by us are permitted. The seat cover and guard should not block or press the electric seat adjustment mechanism; otherwise, the front seat may move unexpect- edly due to inadvertent misoperation of the electric seat adjustment during driving, which may result in vehicle loss of control and acci- dents resulting in injuries; It may also cause damage to the seat electric adjustment system due to the misoperation of the seat electric ad- justment mechanism for a long time.
