General information  
The mirror on the front passenger side is more  
curved than the driver's side mirror.

restraints on the occupied seats.  
▷ Adjust the head restraint so its center sup‐  
ports the back of the head at as close to  
eye level as possible.  
Safety information  
Warning  
▷ 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.  
Objects reflected in the mirror are closer than  
they appear. The distance to the traffic behind  
could be incorrectly estimated, for instance  
while changing lanes. There is a risk of acci‐  
dent. Estimate the distance to the traffic behind  
by looking over your shoulder.  
Warning  
Objects on the head restraint reduce the pro‐  
tective effect in the head and neck area. There  
is a risk of injury.  
Overview  
▷ Do not use seat or head restraint covers.  
▷ Do not hang objects, for instance clothes  
hangers, directly on the head restraint.  
▷ Only use accessories that have been de‐  
termined to be safe for attachment to a  
head restraint.  
▷ Do not use any accessories, for instance  
pillows, while driving.
