Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe 2017 Owner's Manual page 86

Always drive with the head restraints
#
fitted.
Before driving off, make sure for every
#
vehicle occupant that the centre of the
head restraint supports the back of the
head at about eye level.
Do not interchange 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.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect seat position
The seat belt does not offer the intended
level of protection if you have not moved the
seat backrest to an almost vertical position.
When braking or in the event of an accident,
you could slide underneath the seat belt and
sustain abdominal or neck injuries, for exam‐
ple.
Adjust the seat properly before begin‐
#
ning your journey.
Always ensure that the seat backrest is
#
in an almost vertical position and that
the shoulder section of your seat belt is
routed across the centre of your shoul‐
der.
* NOTE Damage to the seats when moving
the seats back
The seats may be damaged by objects when
moving the seats back.
When moving the seats back, make
#
sure that there are no objects in the
footwell or under or behind the seats.
