Adjusting the steering wheel position
Driving without head restraints or with incorrectly adjusted head restraints increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries in the event of an
accident or sudden driving or braking manoeuvre.
If a seat is occupied, the head restraint for that seat must be fitted and adjusted correctly.
Head restraints that have been removed should be fitted as soon as possible so that passengers have correct protection.
WARNING
When removing or fitting head restraints, make sure that they do not hit the roof or other parts of the vehicle. This could damage the headliner
or other parts of the vehicle.
