Head restraints

Shoulder support:

Move the switch in the direction of the
arrow to adjust the tilt angle of the
shoulder support.

You can use the adjustable upper back-
rest for supplementary support in the
shoulder region. This provides a
relaxed sitting position and helps
relieve stress on the shoulder muscles.

For optimum adjustment the following
is recommended:

Driver and front passenger:

1. Adjust the upper backrest section to

its extreme rear position

2. Adjust for the optimal sitting position

as described on page

3. Bring the upper backrest section fur-

ther forward until your shoulders are
well supported.

Front passenger's seat adjusted for
relaxed traveling:

1. Adjust the upper backrest section to

its extreme rear position

2. Tilt the backrest down to a slightly

more horizontal angle

3. Bring the upper backrest section for-

ward until your shoulders are well
supported.

Make corrections in the forward/
backward adjustment of the seat

to ensure that the safety belt still fits
firmly against your body. If you do not
do this, the protection provided by the
safety belt may be reduced.

Head restraint height:

Move the switch in the desired direc-
tion.

Adjustments

To adjust the angle of the front head
restraints, tilt the head restraint to the
desired angle.

To adjust the height of the front or rear
head restraints, pull the head restraint
up or push it down.
Power height adjustment, refer to
page

Adjust the head restraint so that
its center is approximately level

with your ears, otherwise the risk of
spinal injury in the event of an accident
will increase.
