Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints on all outboard seats and the
second-row center seat. The head
restraints are intended to help protect you
and the passengers from neck injury.
WA R N I N G
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used and
make sure they are properly adjusted. In
addition, always raise the head restraints
on all second-row seats when they are
being used:
Driving with the head restraints adjusted
too low or removed is dangerous. With no
support behind your head, your neck could
be seriously injured in a collision.
NOTE
(Third-row seat)
The head restraints are non-adjustable.
▼ Height Adjustment
Adjust the head restra
int so that the center
is even with the top of the passenger's
ears.

To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the
desired position.
To lower the head restraint, press the
stop-catch release, then push the head
restraint down.
