WARNING
Make sure the headrest locks in
position after adjusting it to proper-
ly protect the occupants.
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity of
most people's head is similar with
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible.
The use of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seatback
is not recommended.
Do not operate vehicle with the
headrests removed as injury to
the occupants may occur in the
event of an accident. Headrests
may provide protection against
severe neck injuries when proper-
ly adjusted.
