Head restraints
A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the
risk of spinal injury in the event of an accident.
Adjust the head restraint so that its center
is approx. at ear level. Otherwise there is
increased danger of injury in the event of an
accident. Only remove the head restraints if no
one will be sitting on the seat in question. Rein-
stall the head restraints before transporting
passengers, as otherwise the head restraint
cannot provide its protective function.

Removing:

Move the head restraint up as far as possi-
ble.

Pull out the head restraint completely with a
firm movement.
Installing:
1.
Slide the switch upward for a maximum of
approx. 10 seconds, however if possible
only until a change in the humming noise
indicates that the head restraint bracket is
moved all the way to the top.
2.

Comfort seat*
You can adjust the distance to the back of the
head with the shoulder support, refer to
page
.
Adjusting side extensions
You can fold the side extensions on the head
restraint forward for increased lateral support in
the resting position.
Front head restraints, active*
In the event of a rear-end collision of sufficient
severity, the active head restraint reduces the
distance to the head.
Do not use seat or head restraint covers
and do not hang objects, e.g. clothes
hangers, on the head restraints or attach any
accessories to the seat or head restraint. Other-
wise the protective function of the active head
restraints will be impaired and personal safety
endangered.
