Head restraints height can be adjusted as
follows.
❒ upward adjustment: raise the head re-
straint until you hear it click.
❒ Downward adjustment: press A and
lower the head restraint.
Perform these operations
only when the car is stationary
and the engine is not running.
Remember that the head restraints
should be adjusted to support the
back of your head and not your neck.
Only in this position do they exert
their protective action.
To optimise head restraint protective
action, adjust the backrest upright
and keep your head as close as
possible to the head restraint.
