Adjusting the head restraint electrically
WARNING Risk of accident due to adjusting the vehicle settings while the vehicle is in motion
You could lose control of the vehicle in the following situations in particular:

  • if you adjust the driver's seat, the head restraint, the steering wheel or the mirror while the vehicle is in motion

  • if you fasten your seat belt while the vehicle is in motion

Before starting the vehicle: in particular, adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steering wheel and mirror, and fasten your seat belt.
WARNING Risk of injury due to head restraints not being fitted or being adjusted incorrectly

If head restraints have not been installed or have not been adjusted correctly, there is an increased risk of injury in the head and neck area, e.g. in the event of an accident or when braking.

Always drive with the head restraints fitted.
Before driving off, make sure for every vehicle occupant that the centre of the head restraint supports the back of the head at about eye level.

Do not interchange the head restraints of the front and rear seats. Otherwise, you will not be able to set the height and inclination of the head restraints to the correct position.

Adjust the mechanical head restraint fore-and-aft position so that it is as close as possible to the back of your head.

NOTE Damage to the electrical head restraint when adjusted manually

If the height of the electrically adjustable head restraint is adjusted manually, this can damage the mechanism of the head restraint.

Adjust the height of the electrically adjustable head restraints using the buttons in the door trim.
Requirements:

  • The vehicle is switched on or the door is open.

To adjust the height:
push button up or down in the direction of the arrow.
Moving forward or back
Press and hold release knob .
Push the head restraint forwards or backwards until it engages in the desired position.

If the vehicle is not switched on, you can adjust the head restraint height within 30 seconds of unlocking the vehicle.
