Introduction
The following section shows the options for adjusting and removing the head restraints. Always ensure that your
sitting position is correct .
Every seat is fitted with a head restraint. The head restraints on the front seats have been developed specifically for
the front seats. The rear head restraints are developed for the respective seats or seat rows depending on the
equipment. Therefore you should not install the head restraints in any other positions.
There are notches in the rods of the head restraints which enable them to engage in different positions. Only
correctly mounted head restraints can engage in the notches in the adjustment area. To prevent accidental removal
of the head restraints after installation, stops are fitted at the top and bottom of the adjustment area.
Correct head restraint setting
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 always 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.
● Never adjust the head restraint when the vehicle is in motion.
NOTICE
When removing or fitting head restraints, make sure that they do not hit the roof, the front seat backrest or other
parts of the vehicle. This will prevent damage from occurring.
