Adjustments

Front seat: height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the head restraints
electrically.
Front seat: angle adjustment
Swivel the head restraint.
With the comfort seat, use the shoulder support
to set the distance to the back of the head.
Adjusting side extensions in the
comfort seat
You can fold the side extensions on the head
restraint forward for increased lateral support in
the resting position.
Front head restraints, active*
The comfort seats are equipped with an active
head restraint.
In the event of a rear-end collision of sufficient
severity, the active head restraint reduces the
distance to the head.
To ensure that the active head restraints
afford maximum protection, and to avoid
unnecessary risks to personal safety, we
request that you read and comply with the fol-
lowing:
> Do not install seat or head-restraint covers
> Never use the head restraints as supports
for suspending objects of any kind, such as
clothes hangers. Refrain from mounting
accessories on either the seat or the head
restraint.<
Rear seats: height adjustment
Up: pull up.
Down: press button 1 and slide the head
restraint downward.
Safety belts
To ensure that the safety systems con-
tinue to provide optimized protection,
please observe the adjustment instructions on
page 38.<
Before every drive, make sure that safety belts
are being worn at all of the occupied seats. Air-
bags complement the safety belt as an addi-
tional safety device, but they do not represent a
substitute.
