Adjust the head restraint height so that the
centre of the restraint is as close as possi-
ble to eye level to reduce the chances of
injury in the event of collision.
Any person too tall for the restraint to
reach their seated eye level, should adjust
the restraint as high as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it up-
ward. To lower the restraint, move it down-
ward while pushing the height adjusting
knob (A) in the direction of the arrow. After
adjustment, push the head restraint down-
ward and make sure that it is locked.
