should be adjusted while the small control under the
mirror is set in the day position (toward the windshield).

justed while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted
or removed could cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.

nents, and vehicles with this equipment cannot be readily
identified by any markings, only through visual inspec-
tion of the head restraint. The head restraint will be split

trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
