Adjusting lumbar support* Head restraints A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the risk of damage to the cervical vertebrae in accidents. Adjust the head restraint so that its middle lies approximately at the height of your ears. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident. Only remove a head restraint if no one is riding in the seat in question. Reinstall the head restraint before passengers ride in the seat; otherwise the head restraint cannot perform its important safety function.< You can also adjust the contours of the backrest to obtain additional support in the lumbar region. The upper hips and spinal column receive supplementary support to help you maintain a relaxed, upright sitting position. > To increase or decrease curvature: press front or rear section of switch. > To move curvature up or down: press upper or lower section of switch.
