Adjusting the front and rear head restraints

Fig. 34 Adjusting the head restraints.

ꢀ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

All seats are equipped with head restraints.

There are notches in the head restraint guide rods so that the head restraint can lock into place. Only

properly installed head restraints can lock into place at the adjustment range notches. In order to

prevent inadvertent removal of the head restraints after installation, there are stops at the top and

bottom of the adjustment range.

Adjusting the height

ꢀ

Push the head restraint up in the direction of the arrow or down when the button ⇒ꢀfig. 34 (1) is

pressed ⇒ꢀ

The head restraint must lock securely in the position selected.

ꢀ

Proper head restraint adjustment

Adjust head restraints so that the upper edge of the head restraint is at least at eye level or higher.

Position the back of the head as close as possible to the head restraint.

Adjusting the head restraint for short people

Push the head restraint down as far as it will go, even if this means the person's head is still below the

top edge of the head restraint. A small gap may remain between the head restraint and the backrest

when the head restraint is all the way down.

Adjusting the head restraint for tall people

Pull the head restraint up as far as it will go.

WARNING

Driving without head restraints or with improperly adjusted head restraints increases the risk

of serious injuries in a collision.

ꢀ

Always drive with the head restraints in place and properly adjusted to help minimize the

risk of neck injury in crash.

Every person in the vehicle must have a properly adjusted head restraint to minimize the

ꢀ

risk of neck injury in a crash. Each head restraint must be adjusted according to the occu-

pants' size so that the upper edge is even with the top of the person's head, but no lower than

eye level. Always sit so that the back of your head is as close as possible to the head re-

straint.

ꢀ

Never adjust head restraint while driving.
