Head restraint (for front seat)
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a head
restraint for the occupant's safety and
comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort for the driver and front pas-
senger, but also helps to protect the
head and neck in the event of a colli-
sion.
OHM038048N
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint
is at the same height as the
centre of gravity of an occu-
pant's head. Generally, the cen-
tre of gravity of most people's
head is similar with the height
of the top of their eyes. Also,
adjust the head restraint as
close to your head as possible.
For this reason, the use of a
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not
recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the head restraints removed as
severe injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an
accident. Head restraints may
provide protection against neck
injuries when properly adjust-
ed.
• Do not adjust the head restraint
position of the driver's seat
whilst the vehicle is in motion.
