Audi A4: Head restraints
General information
Applies to: vehicles with adjustable head restraints
Fig. 61 Correctly-adjusted head restraint
Make sure that:
- The upper edge of the head restraint is as even
as possible with the top of your head
- The head restraint is as close as possible to the
back of the head
- The head restraints in any occupied rear seats
are all the way up
WARNING
- There is one head restraint for each seat. All
vehicle occupants must adjust the head restraint
correctly before every trip. Having
head restraints that are not adjusted correctly
or not installed in the vehicle increases
the risk of a neck injury during sudden or
unexpected driving or braking maneuvers or
in a collision.
- Only remove the rear seat head restraints if
it is necessary to install a child safety seat. Stow the removed head
restraints
securely, for example in the luggage
compartment. Reinstall the head restraints
immediately once the child safety seat has
been removed. Driving without head restraints
increases the risk of serious neck injuries.
