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 (→ 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.

NOTICE

Removing and fitting the head restraints incorrectly may cause damage.

● When removing and installing the head restraint, make sure the head restraint does not hit the headliner, the

front seat backrest, or other vehicle components.
