Active head restraint (if equipped)
The active head restraint is designed to
move forward and upward during a rear
impact. This helps prevent the driver's
and front passenger’s heads from mov-
ing backward and thus helps minimise
neck injuries. Forward and backward adjustment
(if equipped)
The head restraint may be adjusted for-
ward to 3 different positions by pulling the
head restraint forward to the desired
detent. To adjust the head restraint to it’s
furthest backwards position, pull it fully
forward to the farthest position and
release it. Adjust the head restraint so
that it properly supports the head and
neck.

WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint isat the same height of the centre
of gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the centre of gravity ofmost people's head is similarwith the height of the top of their
eyes. Also, adjust the head
restraint as close to your head as
possible. For this reason, the use
of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is notrecommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the head restraints removed as
severe injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an acci-
dent. Head restraints may provide
protection against neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
Do not adjust the head restraint position of the driver's seat
whilst the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
A gap between the seat and the
head restraint release button mayappear when seating on the seat or
