Head restraints are designed to support the head, not the back of the neck. The head restraint must be positioned correctly to restrain the rearward movement of the head in a collision. An incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.
While stationary, adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head restraint is above the centerline of the head. An incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.
Do not drive or carry passengers with the head restraints removed from occupied seats. The absence of a correctly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision.
Never adjust the head restraints while the vehicle is in motion. Doing so could potentially cause a loss of vehicle control and personal injury.
Always store a removed head restraint securely. In the event of an accident, an unsecured object could potentially cause serious injury or death.
Head restraints are fitted to all front and rear seats.
To adjust the manual head restraints: Press the locking button on the side of the restraint. Simultaneously, move the restraint horizontally (1) and vertically (2) until the desired position is achieved.
