Headrest (front)The driver's and front passenger's seats

WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity of
most people's head is similar with
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback should not be recom-
mended.
Do not operate vehicle with the headrests removed as injury to
the occupants may occur in the
event of an accident. Headrests
may provide protection against
neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest posi- tion of the driver's seat while the
vehicle is in motion.
