Safe driving – Always reduce your speed as appropriate for road, traffic and weather conditions. – When travelling long distances, take breaks regularly - at least every two hours. – If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or stressed. WARNING When driving safety is impaired during a trip, the risk of injury and acci- dents increases.

Page 15 Active head restraints* Vehicle occupants are pressed into their seats during a rear end collision. The resulting body pressure on the seat backrest activates the active head restraint* on the front seat, which moves rapidly forwards and upwards at the same time. This movement reduces the distance between the occu- pant's head and the head restraint, thus reducing the risk of head injuries such as brain trauma.
Page 16 The active head restraints* could also be triggered if a vehicle occupant ap- plies a high level of pressure to the seat 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.
