2022 Lucid Air Head Restraints
Correct Head Restraint Position
WARNING: In the event of a collision, you want the head restraint to contact your head first, not your neck. Improper positioning can result in serious injury, paralysis, or death.
WARNING: All occupants, including the driver, must adjust the headrest to the proper position before operating the vehicle or sitting in the vehicle’s seat to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
In addition to seat belts, head restraints are an important safety feature that, when used properly, can reduce the risk of personal injury (such as whiplash) in a collision.
- Head restraints should ideally be positioned 2 inches (5 cm) or less from the rear of the person’s head and never more than 4 inches (10 cm).
- Adjust the head restraint, so the height, top of the bulk restraint is at the top of the occupant’s head. Doing so will place the thickest portion of the restraint behind the person’s head, at ear level.
Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle has an adjustable head restraint for each seating position, with the exception of the rear center seat.
Front head restraints
NOTE: The position of the front seat head restraints can only be adjusted using the Pilot Panel. See Using the Pilot Panel.
Rear head restraints
WARNING: Do not position the rear head restraint to the lowest position for an occupied rear seat. The lowest position for a rear head restraint is in a storage position to provide maximum visibility out of the rear window.
For an occupied rear seat, press the button at the base of the head restraint and move the restraint upward to at least the first locked position. Make sure the head restraint is in a locked position during height adjustment.
The rear center head restraint is not adjustable, only removable.
Removing a head restraint
WARNING: If the passenger’s head protrudes above the top of the seat back, do not drive or carry passengers with the head restraints removed from the occupied seats. The absence of a properly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of serious injury or fatality in the event of a collision.
WARNING: Remove the head restraint from the vehicle seat when installing a child safety seat (with the exception of booster seats) to make sure that the upper tether strap securely holds the child safety seat in place.
To remove a head restraint, press the button at the base of the head restraint, then pull up until the head restraint slides out completely.
Reinstalling a head restraint
WARNING: Any head restraint that has been removed must be reinstalled to properly protect vehicle occupants.
To reinstall a head restraint, Iocate the head restraint bars into the head restraint locating holes, push the button on the side of one of the locating holes, and push the head restraint down until a positive lock occurs.
