Front head restraints

Adjusting the head restraint
Correctly adjust the head restraints of all occupied seats; otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury in an accident.
Height
Adjust the head restraint so that its center is approximately at ear level.
Distance
Adjust the distance so that the head restraint is as close as possible to the back of the head.
Active head restraint
In the event of a rear-end collision with a certain severity, the active head restraint automatically reduces the distance from the head.
Reduced protective function
- Do not use seat or head restraint covers.
- Do not hang objects, e.g., clothes hangers, on the head restraints.
