Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front seats have
adjustable head restraints in the
outboard seating positions.
{Warning
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly,
there is a greater chance that
occupants will suffer a neck/
spinal injury in a crash. Do not
drive until the head restraints for
all occupants are installed and
adjusted properly.

chance of a neck injury in a crash.
To raise or lower the head restraint,
press the button located on the side
of the head restraint, and pull up or
push the head restraint down, and
release the button. Pull and push on
the head restraint after the button is
