being driven, otherwise there is a danger in the
event of an accident of sliding under the safety
belt, eliminating the protection normally pro-

This also supports the back in the shoulder
area, This provides a relaxed driving position
and helps relieve stress on the shoulder mus-
cles.
Please follow the instructions on damage to

mation on the active front head restraints on

First set a comfortable backrest width, see
above. Based on the backrest width set, the lat-
eral support is automatically adapted to the cur-
rent driving situation.
The adaptation of the backrest width and the
speed of the adjustment vary depending on the
program. You can select from among three pro-
grams from comfort to sport. The "Sport" pro-
gram provides increased lateral support on both
sides when driving through a quick succession
of curves.
