Rear head restraints
Fig. 5 Adjusting the rear
head restraints
The rear head restraints have 2 positions:
●Raised position or position for use A ⇒ Fig. 5. In this position, the head
restraint is used normally, protecting the occupant of the rear seats, along
with the rear seat belts.
●Rest position, not in use B ⇒ Fig. 5. This position improves the driver's
rear visibility.
To fit the head restraint in position for use A, pull on the edges with both
hands in the direction of the arrow. To place it in rest position B, lower the
head restraint.
WARNING
Whenever a passenger is seated on the rear central seat, the head re-
straint should be placed in the position for use A.
Note
Note the instructions on the head restraints adjustment.
Examples of incorrect sitting positions
An incorrect sitting position can lead to severe injuries to ve-
hicle occupants.
Seat belts can provide optimal protection only when the belt webs
are properly positioned. Incorrect sitting positions substantially re-
duce the protective function of seat belts and increase the risk of
injury due to incorrect seat belt position. As the driver, you are re-
sponsible for all passengers, especially children.
–Never allow anyone to assume an incorrect sitting position in
the vehicle while travelling ⇒ .
The following list contains examples of sitting positions that could be dan-
gerous for all vehicle occupants. The list is not complete, but we would like
to make you aware of this issue.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is in motion:
●Never stand in the vehicle.
●Never stand on the seats.
●Never kneel on the seats.
●Never tilt your seat backrest far to the rear.
●Never lean against the dash panel.
●Never lie on the rear bench.
●Never sit on the front edge of a seat.
●Never sit sideways.
●Never lean out of a window.
