WARNING
If, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the
back, the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating
is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving
long distances, so that the body can recuperate from the stress of the jour-
ney. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition. CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.
■ Do not use the seat heaters if the seats are not occupied by persons or if ob-
jects, such as a child seat, bag, etc., are fastened or stored on them. A fault of the
heating elements in the seat heating can occur.
■ Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 134. Note
■ The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity. ■ If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 149, Au-
tomatic load deactivation . ÐHead restraints
Fig. 40
Head restraint: adjusting/removing Adjusting the height of a head restraint

› To move the head restraint downwards, press and hold the safety but-
ton » Fig. 40 - with one hand and press the head restraint downwards with
the other hand.
Removing and installing a head restraint

› Press the locking button in direction of the arrow
» Fig. 40 - and pull the
head restraint out.
› To re-insert the head restraint, push it far enough down into the seat backrest
until the locking button clicks into place.
Best protection is achieved if the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head.
The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant. Cor-
rectly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective protec-
tion for the occupants » page 104. WARNING
■ The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident. ■ Never drive with the head restraints removed - risk of injury!
