Rear seats  
Introduction  
The following information describes the various options for adjusting the rear seats. Always make sure the seats are adjusted to the correct position ⇒ Correct  
seating position.

Only adjust the rear seats when the vehicle is stationary. Otherwise, the rear seats could move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. You could also  
put yourself in an incorrect seating position.  
For passengers in the rear seats, the risk of serious injuries increases if they do not sit upright, because the safety belts will not be positioned correctly.  
Only adjust the rear seat when there is no one within the seat’s range of movement.  
WARNING  
Lighters in the vehicle can become damaged or ignite unintentionally. This can cause severe burns and vehicle damage.  
Before adjusting any seat, always make sure that there are no cigarette lighters near the moving parts of the seat.

To reduce the risk of injuries while driving, the rear center armrest must always be folded up.  
If the center armrest is folded down, the center rear bench seat must never be used by either adults or children. Doing so would create an incorrect  
seating position that could result in serious injuries.  
Never allow an adult or child to ride on the center armrest.

Objects in the luggage compartment can cause damage when adjusting the rear seat forward or backward.  
If the rear seat is positioned forward, objects can become caught between the seat and the luggage compartment floor. Remove any objects from this  
area before sliding the rear seat back.  
NOTICE  
Objects with sharp edges can damage the seats.  
Never touch the seats with sharp-edged objects. Sharp-edged objects, such as zippers, rivets on clothing, or belts, can cause surface damage. Open  
hook and loop fasteners can also cause damage.

Before folding the rear seat backrest forward, always adjust the front seats so that the head restraint or padding on the rear seat backrest does not press  
against the front seats.

Head restraints  
Introduction  
The information that follows describes how the head restraints can be adjusted and removed. Always make sure the seats are adjusted to the correct position  
⇒ Correct seating position.  
All seats are equipped with head restraints. The head restraints are specially approved for the relevant seat and should not be installed in another seat in the  
vehicle.  
The center rear head restraint (depending on the vehicle equipment) is only intended for the center seat on the rear bench seat. Therefore do not install this head  
restraint in any other position.  
There are notches in the head restraint supports so that they can be locked in different positions. Only head restraints which are correctly mounted can lock into the  
notches within the adjustable range. To prevent the head restraints from being removed unintentionally after mounting, there are stops at the top and bottom of the  
adjustable range.  
Correct head restraint adjustment  
Adjust the head restraint so that the upper edge of the head restraint is in line with the upper portion of the head as much as possible, but not lower than eye level.  
Position the back of the head as close as possible to the head restraint.  
Head restraint adjustment for shorter persons  
Slide the head restraint all the way down, even if the head is then below the upper edge of the head restraint. When the head restraint is in the lowest position, ther  
may be a small gap between the head restraint and the backrest.  
Head restraint adjustment for taller persons  
Move the head restraint up all the way.  
WARNING  
Driving with head restraint that have been removed or adjusted incorrectly increases the risk of serious or fatal injuries in the event of an accident or sudden  
driving and braking maneuvers.  
If a person is sitting in a seat, always drive with the head restraint correctly installed and adjusted on that seat.  
If a person is sitting in a seat, adjust the head restraint according to their height.  
Never adjust the head restraint while driving.  
NOTICE  
When removing and installing the head restraint, make sure the head restraint does not hit the headliner, the front seat backrest, or other vehicle components.  
Otherwise, damage could result.
