2 Head restraints
E00403300953
To adjust heightAdjust the head restraint height so that the centre of the
restraint is as close as possible to eye level to reduce the
chances of injury in the event of collision. Any person too tall
for the restraint to reach their seated eye level, should adjust
the restraint as high as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To lower the
restraint, move it downward while pushing the height adjusting
knob (A) in the direction of the arrow. After adjustment, push
the head restraint downward and make sure that it is locked.
WARNING
!●Driving without the head restraints in place can
cause you and your passengers serious injury or
death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in
an accident, always make sure the head restraints
are installed and properly positioned when the seat
is occupied.●Never place a cushion or similar device on the seat-
back. This can adversely affect head restraint per-
formance by increasing the distance between your
head and the restraint.
