Headrest

The vehicle's front and rear seats have adjustable headrests. The headrests provide comfort for passengers, but more importantly they are designed to help protect passengers from whiplash and other neck and spinal injuries during an accident, especially in a rear impact collision. When there are no occupants in the rear seats, adjust the rear headrests to the lowest height to improve the driver's visibility.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in an accident, take the following precautions when adjusting your headrests:

  • Always adjust the headrests properly for all passengers BEFORE starting the vehicle.

  • Never let anyone ride in a seat with the headrest removed or reversed.

  • Adjust the headrests so that the middle of the headrest is at the same height as the top of the eyes.

  • Never adjust the headrest position of the driver's seat when the vehicle is is moving.

  • Adjust the headrest as close to the passenger's head as possible. Do not use a seat cushion that holds the body away from the seatback.

  • Make sure the headrest locks into position after adjusting it.

When passengers are sitting on the rear seats, always raise the headrests above the lowest stored position.
