supported by the head restraint and
the risk of whiplash injury is reduced.

■ Frequent, repeated operation of the remote control while not in range,
which will require re-
synchronisation,
■ Overloading the central locking by operating at frequent intervals, the
power supply is interrupted for
a short time,
■ Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.
