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.

If a seat is occupied, select the correct head restraint setting for the respective head restraint. If a seat is not occupied, the

respective head restraint can be pushed down as far as it will go.

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, there 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.
