Rear seat head restraints
WARNING
For safety reasons, always drive with the rear
head restraints in the upright position when
the rear seats are occupied.
Keep the area around head restraints clear of
articles (e.g. clothing) to not obstruct the
folding operation of the head restraints.
WARNING
Make sure the rear seat head restraints
engage when placing them upright manually.
Otherwise their protective function cannot be
ensured.
The back of the head will not be supported in
the event of a collision. That could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. Rear seat
occupants can be seriously injured or killed.
Folding back the rear seat head restraints from the front
Make sure that the SmartKey is in position
1 or 2 in the ignition lock.

Folding the rear seat head restraints into position electrically (outer head restraints)
Press and hold button 1 until the head restraints have folded into position.
If a rear-seat passenger inserts the seat belt into the buckle, the head restraint on the corresponding outer seat folds up automatically.
Folding the rear seat head restraints into position manually
Only the center rear seat head restraint can be folded into position manually.
Pull the head restraint up until it engages.

WARNING
When folding back the side cushions, never

restraint: push or pull side bolsters 1 into
the desired position.
