> To move the armrest back into the original posi-
tion, raise it slightly out of the top level and

tant part of your vehicle's occupant restraint sys-
tem and can help to reduce the risk of injuries in

Fig. 67 Head restraint: viewed from the front
The head restraints must be correctly adjusted to
achieve the best protection.
56
> Adjust the head restraint so the upper edge is
as even as possible with the top of your head. If
that is not possible, try to adjust the head re-
straint so that it is as close to this position as
possible.
> Applies to: forward/back adjustable head re-
straints: Move the head restraint so that it is as
close to the back of the head as possible.
> If there is a passenger on the rear center seat-
ing position, slide the center head restraint up-
ward at least to the next notch.

ZA WARNING
All seats are equipped with head restraints.
Driving without head restraints or with head
restraints that are not properly adjusted in-
creases the risk of serious or fatal neck injury
dramatically. To help reduce the risk of injury:
— Always drive with the head restraints in
place and properly adjusted.
— Every person in the vehicle must have a
properly adjusted head restraint.
— Always make sure each person in the vehicle
properly adjusts their head restraint. Adjust
the head restraint so the upper edge is as
even as possible with the top of your head.
If that is not possible, try to adjust the head
restraint so that it is as close to this position
as possible.
— Applies to: forward/back adjustable head re-
straints: Move the head restraint so that it is
as close to the back of the head as possible.
— Never attempt to adjust head restraint while
driving. If you have driven off and must ad-
just the driver headrest for any reason, first
stop the vehicle safely before attempting to
adjust the head restraint.
— Children must always be properly restrained
in a child restraint that is appropriate for
their age and size > page 278.

ing a voice command.
