Seats, restraints35
Stow head restraints securely in load
compartment.
Active head restraints
In 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
Seat position9 Warning

adjusted.

the backrest as possible. Adjust the distance between the seat and the
pedals so that legs are slightly
angled when pressing the pedals.
Slide the front passenger seat as
far back as possible.
■ Sit with shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is possible to easily reach the

tilt the backrest too far back. We
recommend a maximum rake of
approximately 25°.
