Position

Caution

Only drive when the head restraint is correctly adjusted.

Appuis-tête

The upper edge of the head restraint must always be level with the top of the head. If this is not possible for very tall persons, the head restraint must be set to its highest position. For very short persons, set the head restraint to its lowest position.

Height Adjustment

Pull the head restraint up or press the latch to unlock it and lower the head restraint.

Active head restraints

In a rear-end collision, the front parts of the active head restraints tilt slightly forward. The head is thus supported so that the risk of whiplash is reduced.

Note

Approved accessories may only be installed when the seat is not in use.
