This reduces the distance between
the restraint and the occupant’s head.
It also helps protect the occupants
against the likelihood of whiplash
and injuries to the neck and upper

position.
If the restraints do not return to their
normal position, or in the event of a
severe collision, have the vehicle

while pressing the release button.
Make sure the head restraint locks
in position when you reinstall it.
