top of the head restraint is above the
centre line of the he ad. An incorrectly
adjusted head restraint increases the
risk of death or serious injury in the
event of a collision.
It is possible to swivel the head
restraint forwards or backwards. For
greater protection in the event of a
collision, the head restraint should be
adjusted so that it is as close to the
back of the head as is practical.
Never adjust the head restraints while

Head restraints are designed to
support the head, not the back of the
neck. The head restraint must be
positioned correctly to restrain
rearward movement of the head in the
event of a collision.
While stationary, adjust the head
restraint so that the top of the head
restraint is above the centre line of the
head. An incorrectly adjusted head
restraint increases the risk of death or
serious injury in the event of a
collision.
1. If the head restraint is to be lowered, press
and hold the locking collar (it is
unnecessary to press the locking collar to
raise the restraint).
2. Move the head restraint up or down to the
required position.

restraints, if required (e.g. to enable the fitment
of a child restraint), as follows:
• Raise the head restraint to its uppermost

steering column will move to the
uppermost tilt position.
• Entry: When the driver’s door is closed and
the ignition is turn ed on, the steering
column will return to its previously
selected driving position.
Note: If the column control is moved away
from AUTO when the column is in the Exit
position, the column will still move back to its
previous driving position when the driver’s
door is closed and the ignition is switched on.
Note: If the column is manually adjusted
during Entry or Exit operation, column

SEAT BELT SAFETY
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact, even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
Do not carry hard, fragile or sharp
items between your person and the
seat belt.
Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey,
no matter how short.
When using seat belts to restrain
items other than occupants, take care
to ensure that t he belts are not
damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.
The use of comfort clips, or devices
that would create slackness in the
seat belt system, is not advised.
SEAT BELT CHECKS
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is a safety
feature and the belt shoul d be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts or wear to the webbing,
and the condition and security of the mechanism, buckles, ad
justers, and mounting
points.
• With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked.
• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
• Partially unreel the se at belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
