If the NECK-PRO head restraints have been
triggered in an accident, reset the NECK-PRO
head restraints on the driver's and front-
passenger seat ( Y page 41). Otherwise, the
additional protection will not be available in
the event of another rear-end collision. You
can recognize if NECK-PRO head restraints
have been triggered by the fact that they have
moved forwards and can no longer be
adjusted.
G
WARNING
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint so that it is as close
to the head as possible and the center of the
head restraint supports the back of the head
at eye level. This will reduce the potential for
injury to the head and neck in the event of an
accident or similar situation.

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Always fasten your seat belt before driving off.
Always make sure all of your passengers are
properly restrained. You and your passengers
should always wear seat belts.
Failure to wear and properly fasten and
position your seat belt greatly increases your
risk of injuries and their likely severity in an
accident.
If you are ever in an accident, your injuries can
be considerably more severe without your
seat belt properly buckled. Without your seat
belt buckled, you are much more likely to hit
the interior of the vehicle or be ejected from
it. You can be seriously injured or killed.
In the same crash, the possibility of injury or
death is lessened if you are properly wearing
your seat belt. The air bags can only protect
