Lumbar support (for driver’s seat)

pressing the button.Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's seats

OLM039303N
WARNING
 For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middleof the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant's head. Generally,
the center of gravity of most peo-ple's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. 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 as severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec-
tion against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
 Do not adjust the headrest posi- tion of the driver's seat while the
vehicle is in motion.
