HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of
injury by restricting head movement in the event
of a rear impact. Head restraints should be
adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care when
using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that
has been overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
WARNING!

A loose head restraint thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could cause serious injury
or death to occupants of the vehicle. Always
securely stow removed head restraints in a
location outside the occupant compartment.
