RECARO seats are equipped with padded
head restraints integrated with the seatbacks.
These head restraints can reduce the risk of a
whiplash injury if your vehicle is hit from the
rear.
The head restraints are equipped in the illus-
trated position.
To maximize the effectiveness of your head
restraint, adjust your seatback to the upright
position and sit back against the seatback
with your head close to the head restraint.

CAUTION
 Check that the lock knob (A) is extended out
as shown in the illustration. Then pull the
head restraint up to make sure that it is
locked in place and will not come out of the
seatback.

fers according to the seat. Always use the
correct head restraint provided for the seat

WARNING
 In order to minimize the risk of a neck
injury due to a rear impact, the driver and
front passenger seatbacks must be
adjusted to the upright position before
vehicle operation. The driver should never
adjust the seat while the vehicle is in
motion.
 Never place a cushion or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
