GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

“Anti-Whiplash” device
The head restraints are equipped with
an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head
and head restraint in the event of a rear
impact, thus mitigating the “whiplash”
effect.
The head restraint may move when the
backrest is pressed by the occupant's
torso or hand: this behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.
REAR
Two height-adjustable head restraints
are provided for the back seats (for the
adjustment see the previous
paragraph).
On some versions a head restraint is
also provided for the central seat.
Proceed as follows to remove the head
restraints:
❒raise the head restraints to their
maximum height;
❒press buttons A and B fig. 17, then
remove the head restraints by pulling
them upwards.
WARNING
9) The head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather
than the neck, rests on them. Only
in this case they can protect your
head correctly.

To adjust, release the lever by pushing it
forwards (position 1 fig. 18) and adjust
