Resetting activated head restraints

gered in a rear-end collision, the active head
restraints must be reset.
You can tell that the active head restraints
have been triggered when they have been
moved forward and cannot be adjusted.

Warning!
For safety reasons, have the active head
restraints checked at an authorized Mer-
cedes-Benz Center after a rear-end colli-
sion.

Warning!
When pushing back the head restraint
cushion, make sure your fingers do not
become caught between the head restraint
cushion and the cover. Failing to do so may
lead to injury.
i For your convenience, we recommend
that you have this work carried out at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
