the seat slide from returning to its
initial position; return to this posi-

to keep them in line with the seat
back.
To lower the head restraint, press
the lug A and the head restraint at
the same time.
To tilt the head restraint, tilt the lower
part forwards or rearwards. The head restraint has a frame with
a notch which prevents the head
restraint from lowering; this is a
safety device which provides pro-
tection in the event of an impact.
The adjustment is correct when the
upper edge of the head restraint is
level with the top of the head.
Never drive with the head restraints
