The center head restraint should be adjusted according to the passenger's height. The restraint should be carefully adjusted to support the occupant's head.

  • Pull the head restraint up as required.
  • To lower, press and hold the button (located at the center, between the backrest and the head restraint) while pressing the head restrain down carefully.

 Warning

The center rear seat head restraint should only be in its lowest position when this seat is NOT occupied. When the center position is occupied, the head restraint should be correctly adjusted to the passenger’s height. The upper edge of the head restraint should be at least on a level with the upper-most point of the seat occupant's ear.
