WARNING:

Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See HEAD RESTRAINTS SAFETY.

WARNING:

Do not drive or carry passengers with the head restraints removed from an occupied seat. The absence of a correctly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision.

WARNING:

Always store a removed head restraint securely. In the event of an accident, an unsecured object could cause serious injury or death.

NOTE:

Only manual head restraints can be removed, if required. See RECOMMENDED CHILD SEATS.

Manual head restraint removal

To remove a manual head restraint:

  1. Raise the head restraint to its uppermost position.
  2. Locate the guide sleeve buttons underneath the circular trim caps and press down on both to unlock the head restraint.
    NOTE:

    This may require using a suitable trim tool or screwdriver.

  3. Lift the restraint out of the seatback.

Make sure the head restraint is refitted before the seat is used by a passenger.

To refit a manual head restraint:

  1. Make sure the restraint is facing the correct direction.
  2. Insert the stems of the head restraint into the sockets on the seatback.
  3. Push the restraint downward until at least the first click.
