WARNING Risk of injury due to head
restraints which are not fitted or are
adjusted incorrectly
If head restraints are not fitted or are adjus‐
ted incorrectly, they cannot provide protec‐
tion as intended.
There is an increased risk of injury in the
head and neck area, e.g. in the event of an
accident or when braking.
#
Always drive with the head restraints
fitted.
#
Before driving off, make sure for every
vehicle occupant that the centre of the
head restraint supports the back of the
head at about eye level.
Do not interchange the head restraints of the
front and rear seats. Otherwise, you cannot
adjust the height and angle of the head
restraints correctly.
Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft position so
that it is as close as possible to the back of your
head.
#
To raise: pull the head restraint up.
#
To lower: press release knob 1 and push
the head restraint down.
#
To move forwards: pull the head restraint
forwards.
#
To move backwards: press release knob 1
and push the head restraint backwards.
