detect that the vehicle is in danger of over-
turning.

head restraints also extend automatically.
Once the roll bars are extended, you can no
longer lower the rear head restraints or oper-
ate the soft top. In this case, visit the nearest
qualified specialist workshop.

NECK-PRO head restraints
NECK-PRO head restraints are designed to
increase protection to the driver's and front-
passenger's head and neck. To this end, the
head restraints on the driver's and front-
passenger seats are moved forwards and
upwards in the event of a rear-end collision of
a certain severity when viewed in the direc-
tion of travel. This provides better head sup-
port.
G
Head restraint covers prevent the NECK-PRO
head restraints from triggering correctly. Con-
sequently, the NECK-PRO head restraints
cannot provide the intended level of protec-
tion. Do not use head restraint covers.
If the NECK-PRO head restraints are triggered
in an accident, you must reset the head
restraints on the driver's and front-passenger
seats (
been triggered are tilted forwards.
Children in the vehicle
If a child is travelling in your vehicle, secure
the child using a child restraint system which
is appropriate to the size and age of the child
and is recommended for Mercedes-Benz
vehicles. You should fit the restraint system
to a suitable rear seat. Ensure that the child
is secured throughout the trip.
