ple's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible.

the headrests removed as severe

occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec-
tion against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.

tion of the driver's seat while the
vehicle is in motion.
