Headrest adjustmentAdjusting the height up and down
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and passengers,
but also helps to protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (
1). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button ( 2) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position ( 3). For best protection,
adjust the headrest so its center is as
high as your ears. Removal
To remove the headrest, raise it as
far as it can go then press the
release button (
1) while pulling
upward ( 2). Active headrest (if equipped)
The active headrest is designed to
move forward and upward during a
rear impact. This helps to prevent the
driver's and front passenger’s head
from moving backward and thus
helps prevent neck injuries.

removed or improperly posi-
tioned.
