Headrest (front)The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.
For best protection, adjust the headrest
so its center is as high as your ears. Also
adjust the headrest so that it properly
supports the head and neck.Active headrest (if equipped)
The active headrest is designed to move
forward and upward during a rear impact.
This helps to prevent the driver's and
front passenger’s head from moving
backward and thus helps prevent neck
injuries.
