Head Restraints - BMW 2007X5 3.0si Owner's Handbook Manual

Head restraints

Head restraints adjusted to the correct height
reduce the risk of injuries to the neck in the
event of an accident.
Adjust the head restraint in such a way
that its centre is at approximately ear
level; otherwise, there is an increased risk of
injury should an accident occur. Only remove
the head restraints if no one will be sitting on the
seat in question. Reattach the head restraints
before transporting any passengers on the
seats; otherwise the passenger's head will be
unprotected.<
