Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. Head restraints
are most effective for protection against whiplash and other rear-impact crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant’s head should rest against the center of the restraint. The
tops of the occupant’s ears should be level with the center height of the restraint.
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down while
pressing the release button.
To remove the head restraint: Pull the restraint up as
far as it will go. Then push the release button, and pull the restraint up and out.
To reinstall a head restraint: Insert the legs back
in place, then adjust the head restraint to an appropriate height while pressing the
release button. Pull up on the restraint to make sure it is locked in position. In order for the head restraint system to work properly: •  Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs.
•  Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
•  Install each restraint in its proper location.
