Active Head Restraints

In the event of a rear-end impact,
the active head restraints at front
seats automatically tilt forwards. The
head is more effectively supported
by the head restraint and the risk of
injuries caused by hyperextension in
the cervical vertebrae area is
reduced.

angled when touching the
pedals. Slide the passenger seat
as far back as possible.
Sit with your shoulders as far
back against the backrest as
possible. Set the backrest angle
so that you can easily reach the
steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent. Maintain contact
between your shoulders and the
backrest when turning the
steering wheel. Do not tilt the
backrest too far back. We
recommend a maximum angle of
approx. 25°.
Adjust the steering wheel.
See Steering Wheel Adjustment
on page 5-2.
Set the seat high enough to
have a clear field of vision on all
sides and on all display
instruments. There should be at
least one hand of clearance
between your head and the
headlining. Your thighs should
rest lightly on the seat without
pressing into it.
