Head restraints
i
The third-row seat head restraints are ad-
justed 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” (
page 46).
The tilt of the third-row 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 a third-row seat occupied, make sure
to move the respective head restraint up
from the lowest non-use position and have
the occupant 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 re-
straint of a second-row seat, adjust the seat to
the rear as far as possible (
page 138) and fold
the seat backrest (
page 133) forward.
