Before driving, make sure everyone
with an adjustable head restraint has properly positioned the headrestraint. The restraint should be
positioned 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. Properly adjusted head restraints
will help protect occupants from whiplash and other crash injuries.
See page 82 for how to adjust the
head restraints.
