ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head
restraints are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event

position 0.3 inches (7.7 mm) forward of the rear stop if
the driver ’s seat position is between 0.9 inches and
2.7 inches (22.7 mm and 67.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop. The seat will return to its previously set position
when you place the ignition to the ACC or RUN
position.
