Head restraintsFront head restraints1Height
Head restraints reduce the risk of
spinal injury in the event of an
accident.
Adjust the head restraint so that its
center is approximately at the height of
your ears.
When moving the head restraints up or
down, avoid placing hands and fingers
between the head restraint and the
upper edge of the backrest to avoid the
possibility of injury.<
Tilt angle: position the head restraints
manually in the preferred position.

adjustment feature, ensure that
the footwell behind the driver's seat is
empty and unobstructed. If you fail to
do so, persons, animals or objects
