Adjust the head restraint so that it is as close

to the head as possible and the center of the

head restraint supports the back of the head

at eye level. This will reduce the potential for

injury to the head and neck in the event of an

accident or similar situation.
Do not drive the vehicle without the seat head

restraints. Head restraints are intended to

help reduce injuries during an accident.

To avoid damage to the seats and the seat

heating, observe the following information:

keep liquids from spilling on the seats. If

liquid is spilled on the seats, dry them as

soon as possible.

if the seat covers are damp or wet, do not

switch on the seat heating. The seat

heating should also not be used to dry

the seats.

clean the seat covers as recommended;

see the "Interior care" section.

do not transport heavy loads on the

seats. Do not place sharp objects on the

seat cushions, e.g. knives, nails or tools.

The seats should only be occupied by

passengers, if possible.

when the seat heating is in operation, do

not cover the seats with insulating

materials, e.g. blankets, coats, bags,

seat covers, child seats or booster seats.

Make sure that there are no objects in the

footwell or behind the seats when resetting

the seats. There is a risk that the seats

and/or the objects could be damaged.

The rear-compartment head restraints

can be removed (

page 100).

specialist workshop.
