"Anti-Whiplash" device
The head restraints are equipped with an "Anti-Whiplash" device,
which is able to reduce the distance between the passenger's head
and the head restraint in the event of a rear impact, thus mitigat-

If pressure is exerted on the backrest at torso or hand height the
head restraint may move: this behaviour is caused by the system
and should not be considered a malfunction.
