Important safety notes G
WARNING
For safety reasons, always drive with the rear
head restraints in the upright position when
the rear seats are occupied.
Keep the
area around head restraints clear of
articles (e.g. clothing) to not obstruct the
folding operation of the head restraints. G
WARNING
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the

head restraint so that it is as close
to the head as possible and the center of the
head restraint supports the back of the head
at eye level. This will reduce the potential for injury to the head and neck in the event of an
accident or similar situation.
Do
not

drive the vehicle without the seat head
restraints. Head restraints are intended to
help reduce injuries during an accident.
