Operation
All seats are equipped with a headrest. The
central rear headrest is only intended for the
central seat of the rear bench. Therefore, do
not install it on any other seat.
Correct adjustment of headrest
Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge is
at the same level as the top of your head and
under no circumstances below eye level.
Keep the back of your head always as close
to the headrest as possible.
Adjusting the headrest for short people
Lower the headrest completely, even if your
head is below its upper edge. In the lowest
position, there may be a small distance be-
tween the headrest and the backrest.
Adjusting the headrest for tall people
Push the headrest up as far as it will go.
WARNING
If travelling with the headrests removed or
improperly adjusted, the risk of severe or
fatal injuries in the event of accidents and
sudden braking or manoeuvres increases.
Always travel with the headrest correctly
●
installed and adjusted.
To decrease the risk of cervical injuries in
●
the event of an accident, adjust the head-
rest correctly based on your height, always
making sure that its upper edge is at the
same height as the top of the head, but
never below eye level. Keep the back of
your head always as close to the headrest
as possible and centred.
Never adjust the headrest while the vehi-
●
cle is in motion.
Under no circumstances should the rear
●
passengers travel while the headrests are
in the non-use position.
CAUTION
When assembling and disassembling the
headrests, do not let them meet the top lin-
ing of the vehicle, the back rest of the front
seat or other parts of the vehicles. If not,
this could damage the vehicle.
