(Continued)
For maximum effectiveness incase of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height as the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravi-
ty of most people's head is
similar with the height of the
top of their eyes.
Also adjust the headrest as
close to your head as possi-
ble. For this reason, the use of
a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not
recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed.
Severe injury to an occupant
may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may pro-
vide protection against severe
neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest height while the vehicle is in
motion.
