Resetting activated head restraints
Resetting activated head restraints
If the active head restraints have been trig-
gered in a rear-end collision, the active
head restraints must be reset. Otherwise,
the active head restraint cannot offer any
additional protection in the event of anoth-
er rear-end collision.
You can tell that the head restraints have
been triggered when they have been
moved forward and cannot be adjusted.
i
For your convenience, we recommend that
you have this work carried out by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
You will find the reset tool for manually operating
the active head restraints in the Mercedes-Benz
vehicle literature pouch.
Warning!
For safety reasons, have the active head re-
straints checked by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center after a rear-end
collision.
Warning!
When pushing back the head restraint cush-
ion, take care that your fingers do not be-
come caught between the head restraint
cushion and the cover. Failing to do so may
lead to injury.
