Controls in detail Seats i The head restraint of the second-row middle seat* and the third-row seat head restraints are adjusted in the same manner. i The tilt of the second-row head restraints is adjusted in the same manner as the front-seat head restraints, see "Head restraint fore and aft adjustment" ( page 46). The tilt of the head restraint of the second-row middle seat* and the third-row seat head restraints cannot be adjusted. Outboard second-row seat head restraint With the second-row middle seat* or a third-row seat occupied, make sure to move the respective head restraint up from the lowest non-use position and have the occupant adjust the head restraint properly. For your protection, drive only with properly positioned head restraints. Adjust the head restraint in such a way that it is as close to the head as possible and 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. 1 Head restraint 2 Release button Raising: Manually adjust the height of head restraint 1 by pulling it upward to the desired position.
