Controls in detail Seats Lumbar support You can adjust the contour of the front seat's lumbar support to help enhance support to your spine. Rear seat head restraints G 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. G Warning! For your protection, drive only with properly positioned head restraints. Adjust the head restraint in such a way that it is as close to the head as possible and the center of the head restraint supports the back of the head at eye level. This will reduce the potential for injury to the head and neck in the event of an accident or similar situation. With a rear seat occupied, make sure to move the respective head restraint up from the lowest non-use position and have the occupant adjust the head restraint properly. Do not drive the vehicle without the seat head restraints installed when the rear seats are occupied. Head restraints are intended to help reduce injuries during an accident. G 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 head restraints back The rear seat head restraints can be folded backward for increased visibility. 1 Adjustment lever X Move adjustment lever 1 in direction of the arrows until you have reached a comfortable seating position.
