occupant’s ears should be level with the
center height of the restraint.

To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down
while pressing the release button.

In order for the head restraint system to work
properly:
•Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or
from the restraint legs.
•Do not place any objects between an occupant and
the seat-back.
•Install each restraint in its proper location.
3WARNING
Improperly positioning head restraints
reduces their effectiveness and increases
the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.

positioned properly before driving.
