WARNING - Headrest
adjustment
For maximum effectiveness in case 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 gravity
of most people's head is simi-
lar 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 position of the driver's seat
while the vehicle is in motion.
