Safety features of your vehicle
Rear seat adjustment
Headrest
The rear seat is equipped with headrests
in all the seating positions for the occu-
pant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for passengers, but also helps protect the
head and neck in the event of a collision.
For maximum effectiveness in case of an
accident, the headrest should be adjust-
ed 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 the height as 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 recom-
mended.
Adjusting the height up and down
(if equipped)
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the head-
rest, push and hold the release button (2)
on the headrest support and lower the
headrest to the desired position (3).
OUB031043N
WARNING - Headrestremoval
Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed. Headrests can
provide critical neck and head sup-
port in a crash.
