HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONT
They are height-adjustable: to adjust them,
operate as follows.
Upwards adjustment:raise the head restraint
until it clicks into place.
Downwards adjustment:press button A fig. 22
and lower the head restraint.
"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.
WARNING
All adjustments must be made with
the car stationary. Head restraints
must be adjusted so that the head, rather
than the neck, rests on them. Only when they
are adjusted in this manner can they serve
their intended purpose.
WARNING
To make the best use of the head
restraint's protective action, adjust
the backrest so that you are sitting upright
and keep your head as close as possible
to the head restraint.
REAR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Two height-adjustable head restraints are
provided for the rear seats. On some versions a
head restraint is also provided for the central seat.
Upwards adjustment:raise the head restraint
until it clicks into place.
