  Safe driving – Observe traffic laws and speed limits. – Always reduce your speed as appropriate for road, traffic and weather conditions. – When travelling long distances, take breaks regularly — at least every two hours. – If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or stressed.

  Vehicle occupants are pressed into their seats during a rear end collision. The resulting body pressure on the backrest activates the active head re- straint* on the front seat, which moves rapidly forwards and upwards at the same time. This movement reduces the distance between the occupant’s head and the head restraint, thus reducing the risk of head injuries such as brain trauma.

  (e.g. by “falling” back into the seat when entering the vehicle) or if pressure is applied to a front seat head restraint from the rear. This accidental activation is, however, not danger- ous, as the active head restraints will return to the original position immedi- ately and are thus once again ready.
