HEAD RESTRAINTS

FRONT

They are height-adjustable: to adjust them, operate
as follows.
Upwards adjustment: raise the head restraint
until it clicks into place.
Downwards adjustment: press button A fig. 17
and lower the head restraint.
"Anti-Whiplash" Device
The head restraints are equipped with an “Anti-
Whiplash” device, which reduces the distance
between head and head restraint in the event of a
rear impact, thus mitigating the "whiplash" effect.
The head restraint may move when the backrest is
pressed by the occupant's torso or hand: this
behaviour is caused by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.

WARNING

All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary. Head restraints must

be adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only when they are
adjusted in this manner can they serve their
intended purpose.

WARNING

To make the best use of the head
restraint's protective action, adjust the

backrest so that you are sitting upright and
keep your head as close as possible to the head
restraint.
