Head restraints
Introduction
The following section shows the options
for adjusting and removing the head re-
straints. Always ensure that your sitting po-
sition is correct → page 47.
Every seat is fitted with a head restraint.
The head restraints on the front seats have
been developed specifically for the front
seats. Depending on the equipment, the
rear head restraints have been developed
for the respective seats or seat rows.
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
dierent positions. Only correctly mounted
head restraints can engage in the notches
in the adjustment area. To prevent acciden-
tal removal of the head restraints aer in-
stallation, 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 peo-
ple
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 in-
c
orrectly adjusted head restraints increa-
ses 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.
