Safe driving
WARNING
Travelling with the head restraints removed or improperly adjusted in-
creases the risk of severe injuries.
● Incorrectly adjusted head restraints could result in death in the event
of a collision or accident.
● Incorrectly adjusted head restraints also increase the risk of injury
during sudden or unexpected driving or braking manoeuvres.
● The head restraints must always be adjusted according to the pas-
senger's height.
Note
The active head restraints* could also be triggered if a vehicle occupant ap-
plies a high level of pressure on the backrest (e.g. by "falling" back into the
seat when entering the vehicle) or if pressure is applied to a front seat head
restraint from the rear. This accidental activation is, however, not danger-
ous, as the active head restraints will return to the original position immedi-
ately and are thus once again ready.
