2014 VAUXHALL ANTARA lumbar support

34Seats, restraints
Stow head restraints securely in load
compartment.
Active head restraintsIn the event of a rear-end impact, the
active head restraints automatically
tilt forwards. Thus the head is
supported so that the risk of whiplash injury is reduced.
Notice
Do not attach objects or components
that are not approved for your
vehicle to the head restraints. These
affect the protective effect of the
head restraints and can be propelled through the vehicle in an
uncontrolled manner if the driver
brakes hard or an accident occurs.
Notice
Approved accessories may only be
attached if the seat is not in use.Front seats
