Forward and backward adjustment
(if equipped)
The headrest may be adjusted for-
ward to 4 different positions by
pulling the headrest forward to the
desired detent. To adjust the head-
rest to it’s furthest backwards posi-
tion, pull it fully forward to the farthest
position and release it. Adjust the

To lower the headrest :
1. Push and hold the release button
(2) on the headrest support.
2. Lower the headrest to the desired
position (3).
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height as the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is simi-
lar 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 seat-
back is not recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed as
severe injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may pro-
vide protection against neck
injuries when properly adjust-
ed.
• Do not adjust the headrest
position of the driver's seat
while the vehicle is in motion.
