nificant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust them
properly if they have been removed for
any reason.
∙ If the head restraints/headrests are re- moved for any reason, they should be se-
curely stored to prevent them from caus-
ing injury to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking or an
accident. ∙ When returning the seatbacks to the up-

pletely secured in the latched position. If
they are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or sud-
den stop.

cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
