2.Press the desired memory button1 or2

press the button again; the LED goes out.
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 the
respective seat is not occupied. Reinstall the
head restraints before transporting passen-
gers, as otherwise the head restraint cannot
provide its protective function.<
Front seats: setting the height of the
head restraint
You can adjust the height of the head restraints
electrically.
Removing:
1.Tilt the backrest toward the rear.
2.Move the head restraint up as far as possi-
ble.
3.Pull out the head restraint completely with a
firm movement.
Installing:
1.Push the switch upward for a maximum of
approx. 10 seconds, however if possible
only until a change of the humming noise
indicates that the installed head restraint
would have been moved all the way to the
top.
2.Insert the head restraint and press down on
both sides until it is heard and felt to
engage.
