Head Restraints - Fiat Bravo Owner's Manual

HEAD RESTRAINTS

FRONT
Head restraints are adjustable in height
and they lock automatically in the required
position.
❒ to raise: raise the head restraint until
hearing the locking click.
❒ to lower: press button A-fig. 30 and
lower the head restraint.
On some versions, the front head re-
straints are equipped with an anti-whiplash
device, which is able to reduce the dis-
tance between the head and head restraint
in the case of rear impact, limiting damage
caused by whiplash.
If the front head restraint is anti-whiplash
type, the head restraint may move if pres-
sure is exercised on the back-rest through
the torso or hand. This behaviour is typ-
ical of the system and should not treated
as a malfunction.

WARNING
Remember that the head re-
straints should be adjusted
to support the back of your head and
not your neck. Only in this position
do they exert their protective action.
WARNING
To optimise head restraint
protective action, adjust the
seat back upright and keep your head
as close as possible to the head re-
straint.
