Head Restraints; Front Head Restraints; Rear Head Restraints; "Anti-Whiplash" Device - Fiat PANDA 2016 Owner's Handbook Manual

WARNING
2) The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term
wear deriving from normal use of the car.
Some precautions are however required.
Avoid prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as
metal buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a small area, could cause it to break,
thereby damaging the upholstery.
3) Before tilting the backrest, remove any
objects on the seat cushion.

"Anti-Whiplash" device

The head restraints are equipped with
an "Anti-Whiplash" device, which
reduces the distance between head
and head restraint in the event of a rear
impact, thus mitigating the "whiplash"
effect.
The head restraint may move when the
backrest is pressed by the occupant's
torso or hand: this behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.

REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS

Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downwards adjustment: press
button A fig. 11 and lower the head
restraint.

IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used,
always set the head restraints in the
"completely raised" position.
