Head restraints
i
The head restraint of the second-row middle
seat* and the third-row seat head restraints are
adjusted in the same manner.
i
The tilt of the second-row head restraints is
adjusted in the same manner as the front-seat
head restraints, see “Head restraint fore and aft
adjustment” (
The tilt of the head restraint of the second-row
middle seat* and the third-row seat head
restraints cannot be adjusted.
Warning!
G
Do not drive the vehicle without the seat
head restraints installed when the rear seats
are occupied. Head restraints are intended
to help reduce injuries during an accident.
With the second-row middle seat* or a
third-row seat occupied, make sure to move
the respective head restraint up from the
lowest non-use position and have the occu-
pant adjust the head restraint properly.
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint in such a way that
it is as close to the head as possible and 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.
i
When removing or installing the head
restraint of an outboard second-row seat, adjust
the seat to the rear as far as possible
(
