Rear Head Restraints   
The center head restraint has two adjustable 
positions: up or down. When the center seat is 
being occupied, the head restraint should be in the 
raised position. When there are no occupants in 
the center seat, the head restraint can be lowered 
for maximum visibility for the driver. To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the 
head restraint. To lower the head restraint, push 
the adjustment button located at the base of the 
head restraint and push downward on the head 
restraint.
