If the NECK-PRO head restraints have been
triggered in an accident, you must reset the
NECK-PRO head restraints on the driver’s and
front-passenger seat (Y page 53).
Otherwise, the additional protection will not
be available in the event of another rear-end
collision. You can recognize when NECK-PRO
head restraints have been triggered by the
fact that they have moved forwards and can
no longer be adjusted.
G Warning
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
as you adjust the seat.
!
Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell or behind the seats when resetting
the seats. There is a risk that the seats
and/or the objects could be damaged.
G Warning!
More information about belt adjustment, a
convenience function integrated into PRE-
SAFE®, can be found in the "Belt adjustment"
section (Y page 56).
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint so 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.

protection to the driver's and front-
passenger's head and neck. To this end, the

passenger seats are moved forwards and
