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.
