E00403301149 WARNING
l Driving without
the

place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
To adjust height

restraint height so that the centre
of the head 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 head restraint
to reach their seated eye level, should adjust the re-
straint as high as possible. To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To low-
er 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. To adjust forward or backward (front
