52 14 392 Removing and installing/replacing front left or right crash-active headrest







WARNING:
Observe safety regulations when handling airbag modules.
Incorrect handling may result in triggering of the crash-active headrest and thereby cause injury.

Switch off the ignition.







Necessary preliminary tasks:
- Disconnect negative battery cable
- Partially remove backrest cover







Starting situation:
Head restraint is in the crash position after being triggered.
A triggered head restraint can be recognized by the padded section which has moved upwards.







Unclip plug connection (1) for crash-active head restraint from holder.
Unlock plug connection (1) and disconnect.







Detach omega clamps (1) on left and right.







Press latch mechanism and remove head restraint toward the top.

IMPORTANT:
During head restraint removal the guide sleeves are involuntary disengaged.
The bent linkage of the head restraint causes the guide sleeves also to be pulled out in some cases.
Prior to installation of the head restraint, make sure you check the guide sleeves for whether all retaining lugs are correctly locked.
