NECK-PRO head restraints
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The function of the head restraint may be
impaired if you:
R
attach objects such as coat hangers to
the head restraints, for example
R
use head restraint covers
If you do so, the head restraints cannot fulfill
their intended protective function in the
event of an accident. In addition, objects
attached to the head restraints could endan-
ger other vehicle occupants. There is an
increased risk of injury.
Do not attach any objects to the head
restraints and do not use head restraint cov-
ers.
Method of operation
NECK-PRO head restraints reduce the likeli-
hood of head and chest injuries. The NECK-
PRO head restraints on the driver's and front-
passenger seats are moved forwards and
upwards in the event of a rear-end collision of
a certain severity. This provides better head
support.
If the NECK-PRO head restraints have been
triggered in an accident, you must reset the
NECK-PRO head restraints on the driver’s and
front-passenger seat (Y page 55). Other-
wise, the additional protection will not be
available in the event of another rear-end colli-
sion. You can recognize when NECK-PRO head
restraints have been triggered by the fact that
they have moved forwards and can no longer
be adjusted.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the NECK-PRO head restraints checked for
functionality at a qualified specialist workshop
after a rear-end collision.
Resetting triggered NECK-PRO head

tery of the head restraint and the seat. Pay
