Practical hints
Resetting activated head restraints (S 600 only)
If the luxury active head restraints
(front seats) have been triggered in an ac-
cident, the active head restraints must be
reset. Otherwise, the active head re-
straints cannot offer any additional protec-
tion in the event of another rear-end
collision. ̈ Take reset tool 1 out of the
Mercedes-Benz vehicle literature
pouch.
̈ Guide reset tool 1 into center of head
restraint between head restraint cush-
ion and rear head restraint cover.
̈ Press reset tool 1 forward in direction
of arrow.
̈ Press reset tool downward until you
hear the head restraint release
mechanism audibly engage.
̈ Pull out reset tool 1.
̈ Firmly press head restraint cushion
backward towards the rear of the vehi-
cle until it engages.
̈ Repeat this procedure on the active
head restraints for second head re-
straint.

i For your convenience, we recommend that

Mercedes-Benz Center.

the head restraints in the Mercedes-Benz vehicle
literature pouch.

Warning!
G
When pushing back the head restraint cush-
ion, take care that your fingers do not be-
come caught between the head restraint
cushion and the cover. Failing to do so may
lead to injury.
