seat only be used by a person who can
use the backrest as a substitute for the
head restraint.
The seats and the seatbelts are

protection system for the vehicle's
occupants.

a collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.

restraints in a location outside the occupant
compartment.

a collision and could result in serious injury
or death.

passenger from neck injury.
Adjust the seatbacks to their upright,
on-road positions so that the head
restraint is positioned as close as
possible to the back of your head.

vehicle with the head restraints improperly
adjusted or removed could cause serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.
