for t.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for passengers, but also helps

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 of the center

head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's head
is similar with the height of
the top of their eyes. Also

to your head as possible. 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 an occu-
pant may occur in the event of
an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
