Head Restraint

The vehicle’s front and rear seats have adjustable head restraints. The head restraints 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.

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

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

  • NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with the head restraint removed or reversed.

    2C_HeadrestRightPosition

  • Adjust the head restraints so the middle of the head restraint is at the same height as the height of the top of the eyes.

  • NEVER adjust the head restraint position of the driver’s seat when the vehicle is in motion.

  • Adjust the head restraint 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 head restraint locks into position after adjusting it.

2C_RearHeadrestCaution

When sitting on the rear seat, do not adjust the height of the head restraint to the lowest position.

When there is no occupant in the rear seats, adjust the height of the head restraint to the lowest position. The rear seat head restraint can reduce the visibility of the rear area.

To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull on the head restraints.
