Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting, removing and installing a head restraint
Middle rear head restraint
Best protection is achieved if the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head.
The position of the front and rear outer head restraints is adjustable in height.
The middle rear head restraint is adjustable in two positions.
The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant. Cor-
rectly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective protec-
tion for the occupants » page 122, Correct seated position.
WARNING
The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
■
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident.
Never drive with the head restraints removed - risk of injury.
■
If the rear seats are occupied, the rear head restraint must not be in the
■
lower position.
