Fig. 1 Head restraint (seen from the front)
Properly adjusted head restraints are an important part of the vehicle's occupant protection system. They can help to reduce the risk of injuries in most accident situations.
The head restraints must be adjusted properly to provide maximum protection.
Applies to adjustable head restraints: Adjust the front head restraint so that the top of the head restraint is level with the top of your head. If this is not possible, try to adjust the head restraint as near as possible to this position.
Before carrying passengers on the outer rear seats, pull the head restraints on the occupied seats all the way up.
For more information on how to adjust the head restraints, see Link.
WARNING!
  • Travelling with the head restraints removed or incorrectly adjusted increases the risk of severe injuries.
  • Incorrectly adjusted head restraints can also increase the risk of injury during sudden or unexpected braking or other manoeuvres.
