Principle  
Removal or incorrect adjustment of head re-  
straints can cause injuries in the head and  
neck area. There is a risk of injury.  
At the end of a trip, the system informs the  
driver of the possible presence of occupants on  
the rear seats.  
Before driving, install the removed head  
restraints on the occupied seats.  
General information  
Adjust the head restraint so its center  
supports the back of the head at as  
close to eye level as possible.  
If a door with access to the rear seat row is  
operated within 30 minutes before starting a  
drive, a notice appears on the control display  
and a signal tone sounds at the end of the  
drive.  
Adjust the distance so that the head re-  
straint is as close as possible to the back  
of the head. Adjust the distance via the  
backrest tilt as needed.  
If the drive is continued within 30 minutes, the  
notice is displayed again after the drive is com-  
plete.
