The front head restraints help protect you and your passenger from
whiplash and other injuries. They are most effective when you adjust them
so the back of the occupant's head
rests against the center of the
restraint. A taller person should adjust the restraint as high as

possible.
The front head restraints adjust for
height. You need both hands toadjust the restraint. Do not attempt
to adjust it while driving. To raise it,
pull upward. To lower the restraint,
push the release button sideways and push the restraint down.
To remove a head restraint for cleaning or repair, pull it up as far as
it will go. Push the release button
and pull the restraint out of the seat-
back.
