Rear head restraints
Safety information
WARNING
If the head restraints are removed or incor-
rectly adjusted, they cannot provide protec-
tive effect as intended and head and neck in-
juries may result. There is a danger of injury.
▷ Before a journey, re-install any removed
head restraints on all occupied seats.
▷ Adjust the head restraint so that its cen-
tre supports the back of the head at eye
level where possible.
▷ Adjust the distance so that the head re-
straint is as close as possible to the back
of the head. If necessary, adjust the dis-
tance by adjusting the backrest angle.
WARNING
Parts of the body can become trapped when
the head restraint is moved. There is a dan-
ger of injury. When moving the head restraint,
make sure that the movement range is kept
clear.
WARNING
Objects on the head restraint impair the pro-
tective effect of the head restraint in the head
and neck area. There is a danger of injury.
▷ Do not fit any covers on the seats or
head restraints.
▷ Do not hang objects such as coat hang-
ers directly on the head restraint.
▷ Only use accessories that have been
classified as safe for attaching to the
head restraint.
▷ Do not use any accessories, for example
cushions, during the journey.
