vehicle occupants. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Do not attach any objects to the head
restraints and do not use head restraint cov-
ers.
Method of operation
NECK-PRO head restraints reduce the likelihood
of head and chest injuries. The NECK-PRO head
restraints on the driver's and front-passenger
seats are moved forwards and upwards in the
event of a rear-end collision of a certain severity.
This provides better head support.
If the NECK-PRO head restraints have been trig-
gered in an accident, you must reset the NECK-
PRO head restraints on the driver’s and front-
passenger seat (
Y
page 55). Otherwise, the
additional protection will not be available in the
event of another rear-end collision. You can rec-
ognize when NECK-PRO head restraints have
been triggered by the fact that they have moved
forwards and can no longer be adjusted.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
NECK-PRO head restraints checked for func-
tionality at a qualified specialist workshop after
a rear-end collision.
Resetting triggered NECK-PRO head
