electronic data recording and fee
payment must be attached in these
areas. Otherwise data recording
malfunctions may occur.

Seats, restraints35

Active head restraints
In the event of a rear-end impact, the active head restraints automatically

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
