Headrest
Introduction
The headrest adjustment and removal options
are described below. Always make sure that the
seats are correctly adjusted ›››page44.
All seats are fitted with a headrest. The central
rear headrest is only intended for the central
seat of the rear bench. Therefore, do not install
it on any other seat.
Correct adjustment of the headrest
Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge is
at the same level as the top of your head, as
close as possible to eye level. Keep the back of
your head always as close to the headrest as
possible.
