quent. The displaying will be in kilometres or miles de-
pending on the measurement unit settings. When the next

Depending on the versions, head restraints can be fixed
(for 5-seat versions) or adjustable. To use adjustable head
restraints, raise the head restraint from position 2 (posi-
tion of non use) to position 1 (completely raised).
To bring them back to the original “position of non use”,
press the button B and push the head restraint down.
To take them out, press both buttons B and C, raise them
completely.
The particular head restraint shape deliberately interferes
with the correct passenger’s back leaning on the back-
rest in order to force him/her to lift the head restraint
and use it correctly.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used, always set the
head restraints in the “completely raised” position.
