WARNING
Rear passengers sitting out of position can suffer severe injuries.
• Always adjust the head restraints properly for maximum
protection.
• Seat belts only offer maximum protection when the backrest is
in an upright position and the passengers are wearing the seat
belts properly. By not sitting upright, rear passengers increase the
risk of injury due to incorrect positioning of the seat belt
webbing.
Correct adjustment of head restraints
Properly adjusted head restraints are an important part of
the vehicle's occupant protection system. They can help
to reduce the risk of injuries in most accident situations.
The head restraints must be adjusted properly to provide
maximum protection.
– Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head
restraint is level with the top of your head ⇒ fig. 201 and
⇒ fig. 202.
For more information on how to adjust the head restraints, see
⇒ page 77.
WARNING
Travelling with the head restraints removed or incorrectly
adjusted increases the risk of severe injuries.
• Incorrectly adjusted head restraints could lead to death in the
event of a collision or accident.
• Incorrectly adjusted head restraints can also increase the risk
of injury during sudden or unexpected braking or other manoeu-
vres.
• The head restraints must always be adjusted according to the
occupant's size.
