The headrest may be adjusted forward to
3 different positions by pulling the head-
rest forward to the desired detent. To

wards position, pull it fully forward to the
farthest position and release it. Adjust the

desired position (1). To lower the head-
rest, push and hold the release button (2)

OHM038006OHM038005
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 peo-
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. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed. Severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec-
tion against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest posi- tion of the driver’s seat while the
vehicle is in motion.

rest poles (3) into the holes while press-
ing the release button (1). Then adjust it

The active headrest is designed to move

This helps to prevent the driver's and
front passenger’s heads from moving
backward and thus helps minimize neck
injuries.C010105AHM

The lumbar support can be adjusted by
moving the lever. Pivoting the lever
