Head Restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear (second row
and/or third row) seats have adjustable
head restraints. The head restraints
provide comfort for passengers, but
more importantly they are designed to
help protect passengers from whiplash
and other neck and spinal injuries during
an accident, especially in a rear impact
collision.
WARNING
To help reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident, take the
following precautions when adjusting
your head restraints:
[ Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
[ NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraint removed or
reversed.

[ Adjust the head restraints so the
middle of the head restraint is at the
same height as the height of the top
of the eyes.
[ NEVER adjust the head restraint
position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.
[ Adjust the head restraint as close to
the passenger’s head as possible. Do
not use a seat cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback.
[ Make sure the head restraint locks
into position after adjusting it.
