Important safety notes
G WARNING
If head restraints are not installed and adjus-
ted correctly, they cannot provide protection
as intended. There is an increased risk of
injury in the head and neck area, e.g. in the
event of an accident or when braking.
Always drive with the head restraints instal-
led. Before driving off, make sure for every
vehicle occupant that the center of the head
restraint supports the back of the head at
about eye level.
G WARNING
If the front-passenger seat is in chauffeur
mode and the front-passenger head restraint
is folded down, the view of the passenger-side
exterior mirror can be impaired. There is a risk
of an accident.
To have a free view of the exterior mirror,
remove the front-passenger head restraint.
! Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell under or behind the seats when
moving the seats back. There is a risk that
the seats and/or the objects could be dam-
aged.
