The following section shows the options for adjusting and removing the head restraints. Every seat is fitted with a

head restraint. Always ensure that your sitting position is correct .

Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is at the same height as the top of the head, but not lower than eye

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

Head restraint setting for shorter people

Push the head restraint all the way down, even if the head is then underneath the top edge of the head restraint.

There may be a small gap between the head restraint and backrest in the lowest position.

Head restraint setting for taller people

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

WARNING

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.

● Each vehicle occupant must adjust the head restraint to suit their body size in order to help reduce the risk of

neck injuries in an accident. As far as possible, the upper edge of the head restraint must be level with the top of

the head, but not lower than eye level. Position the back of your head in the middle and as close to the head

restraint as possible.
