2021 SUBARU ASCENT seat adjustment

Head Restraint Adjustment
Pull the head restraint up to raise
it. To lower the head restraint,
push it down while pressing the
release button on the top of the
seatback. Each head restraint
should be adjusted so that the
center of the head restraint is
closest to the top of the
occupant’s ears.
The angle of the front head
restraints can be adjusted by
tilting them forward. You will hear
a click when the restraint locks in
place. Pulling the head restraint
as far forward as it will go allows it
to return to the fully upright position.
Seatbelt Adjuster
To keep yourself comfortable and
safe, always position the seatbelt
adjuster so the shoulder belt
passes over the middle of your
shoulder without touching your
neck. Pull the tab out and slide
the adjuster up or down to set the
position. Release the tab and
make sure the adjuster is locked
in place.
