back. The head restraint will fold automati-
cally with the seat when this lever is pulled.NOTE:

should be adjusted so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of your ear.

should not operate 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 of a crash.

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