& WARNING Risk of injury due to head
restraints not being fitted or being adjus-
ted incorrectly
If head restraints have not been installed or
have not been adjusted correctly, there is an
increased risk of injury in the head and neck
area, e.g. in the event of an accident or when
braking.
Always drive with the head restraints fit-
#
ted.
Before driving off, make sure for every
#
vehicle occupant that the centre of the
head restraint supports the back of the
head at about eye level.
Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft position so
that it is as close as possible to the back of your
head.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect seat position
The seat belt will not offer the intended level
of protection if you have not moved the seat
backrest to an almost vertical position.

and injure yourself.
Adjust the seat properly before begin-
#
ning your journey.
Always ensure that the seat backrest is
#
in an almost vertical position and that
the shoulder section of your seat belt is
routed across the centre of your shoul-
der.
