Head restraints can reduce the risk of whiplash injury in
the event of impact from the rear. Adjustable head
restraints should be adjusted so that the upper edge is as
high as practical. The front head restraints have a locking
button that must be pushed inward to lower the head
restraint. The restraints may be raised without pushing in
the button. The rear head restraints are not adjustable.
