head restraints in the outboard
seating positions.

seats, the vehicle’s front seats have
head restraints in the outboard
seating positions that cannot be
adjusted.

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.

head restraint so that the top of the
restraint is at the same height as the
top of the occupant's head. This
position reduces the chance of a neck
