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.

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.
