Adjustment of the head restraint heightTo reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head
restraint height so that the center of the restraint is at your eye
level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach
their eye level when seated should raise the restraint to the
highest locked position.
To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.
To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the
lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow.
After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to
make sure it is locked in position.
WA R N I N G
!In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to
a rear impact, the seatback must be adjusted to the
upright position and the head restraint must be
adjusted to the proper position before vehicle opera-
tion.
The driver should never adjust the seat while the
vehicle is in motion.Driving without the head restraints in place can
cause you and your passengers serious injury or
death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in
an accident, always make sure the head restraints
are installed and properly positioned when the seat
is occupied. Never place a cushion or similar device on the seat-
back. This can adversely affect head restraint per-
formance by increasing the distance between your
head and the restraint.
