Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Principles of Operation: Notes
In order to obtain the best possible comfort, the front part of the head restraint can be moved forwards or backwards by approximately 30 mm. There are two self-locating extended positions. That means that altogether there are three different settings for head restraint reach.
To move the front part of the head restraint forwards, it simply has to be pulled forwards until it snaps into one of the two locating positions.
To move it back, the button on the side of the crash sensitive head restraint has to be pressed. This releases the catch and the front part of the head restraint can be moved back.
