Seats and Headrests

FRONT SEATS

Headrests
For your safety, the front seats are equipped with active headrests that
are not adjustable forward or backward, only up and down. An active
headrest is designed to move forward in the event of a collision to close
the gap between your head and the headrest (to prevent whiplash).
Driver's Seat Lumbar Support Adjustment
(if equipped)
To increase the lumbar support, move the lever
upward. Move the lever downward to decrease
lumbar support.
