WARNING  
Improper use of electrical seat controls can cause serious personal injuries.  
The front seats in your vehicle can be electrically adjusted even when the vehicle key has  
been removed from the ignition or, on a vehicle with Keyless Access, even if there is no key  
in the vehicle.  
Never leave children and persons who need help in the vehicle alone because the unsu-  
pervised use of the electric seat adjustments can result in serious personal injury.  
Always make sure that no one is in the way while the front seats are being adjusted, or  
while calling up the stored memory settings for the front seats. In an emergency, stop auto-  
matic seat adjustment by pressing a seat adjustment switch.  
NOTICE  
To help prevent damage to electrical parts in the seat, do not kneel on the front seats or apply  
concentrated pressure to a small area of the seat or backrest.  
If the vehicle battery is too weak, the electrical seat adjustment controls may not work.  
Starting the engine may stop seat adjustment.  
When entering and exiting the vehicle, be careful not to come into contact with any switches that  
could change the seat adjustment.  
Adjusting the front and rear head restraints  
Fig. 36 Adjusting the head restraints.  
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS  
All seats are equipped with head restraints. The rear center head restraint is designed only for the  
center seat on the rear bench. Therefore, only install the center head restraint in the center position.  
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  
Pull the head restraint up in the direction of the arrow, or push it down while pressing the button  
⇒ꢀfig. 36 (1) ⇒ꢀ  
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.
