Head restraint

The vehicle's 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. When there are no occupants in the rear seats, adjust the rear head restraints 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 head restraints:

Always adjust the head restraints properly for rear seat(s) passengers BEFORE starting the vehicle.
Never let anyone ride in a seat with the head restraint removed or reversed.
Adjust the head restraints so that the middle of the head restraint is at the same height as the top of the eyes.

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.

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