Removing and fitting head restraints
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction

Adjusting the steering wheel position
Driving without head restraints or with incorrectly adjusted head restraints increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries in the event of an
accident or sudden driving or braking manoeuvre.
If a seat is occupied, the head restraint for that seat must be fitted and adjusted correctly.
Head restraints that have been removed should be fitted as soon as possible so that passengers have correct protection.

or other parts of the vehicle.
