SEAT ADJUSTMENT

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Lumbar support*

You can adjust the contour of the backrest
for additional support in the curvature of
your spine's lumbar region. The upper hips
and spinal column receive supplementary
support to help you maintain a relaxed,
upright posture.

Turn the wheel.
The curvature is increased or decreased.

Backrest tilt

1. Pull up the lever at the inside of the seat
2. Apply weight to or remove weight from

the backrest as required

3. Release the lever so that the backrest

locks into place.

Adjusting

To raise: pull the head restraint upward.

To lower: press the button and push the
head restraint downward.

You can reduce the risk of spinal
injury and whiplash by adjusting the

head restraint to a height at which it is cen-
tered roughly at ear level.
To avoid possible violation of traffic laws,
never retract the head restraints unless the
rear seats are empty. Always ensure that
the head restraints are raised before trans-
porting passengers in the rear seat.
