& WARNING Risk of injury due to head
restraints which are not installed or are
adjusted incorrectly
If head restraints are not installed or are
adjusted incorrectly, the head restraints can‐
not provide protection as intended.
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
#
installed.
Before driving off, make sure for every
#
vehicle occupant that the center of the
head restraint supports the back of the
head at about eye level.
Do not swap the head restraints of the front and
rear seats. Otherwise, you cannot adjust the
height and angle of the head restraints correctly.
Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft position so
that it is as close as possible to the back of your
head.

If the front passenger seat is in the chauffeur
mode position and the front passenger head
restraint is folded down, the view of the pas‐
senger's outside mirror can be impaired.
