WA R N I N G In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to a rear impact, the head restraint must be adjusted to the proper position before vehi
cle operation. For the
driver and front passenger, the seatbacksmust be adjusted to the upright position before adjusting the head restraints. The driver should never adjust the seat whilethe vehicle is in motion. Driving without the head restraints in place can cause you and your passengers serious injury or death in an accident.
