Adjust the head restraint according to passenger height so that the whole of the back of the head is covered if possible. Slide it up as required.
To lower the head restraint again, the button by the left-hand shaft (see illustration) must be pressed in while the head restraint is pressed down carefully.
Warning
The centre seat head restraint must be in its lowest position when the centre seat is not used. When the centre seat is used, the head restraint must be correctly adjusted to the height of the passenger so that it covers the whole of the back of the head if possible.
Lowering the rear seat backrest
Important
There must be no objects on the rear seat when the backrest is to be folded down. The seat belts must not be connected either. Otherwise there is a risk of damaging the rear seat upholstery.

The backrest is in two parts. The parts can be folded forward, together or separately.
Pull on the required handle. They are located just inside the hatch opening.
Fold the backrest forward.
Lower the centre head restraint fully if the backrest's wide section shall be lowered.
Note
When the backrests have been lowered, the head restraints may need to be moved forward slightly so as not to make contact with the seat cushion.
Warning
Check that the backrests and head restraints are securely locked after raising to avoid personal injury in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
