Head Restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and spinal
injuries during an accident, especially in
a rear impact collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:
[ Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
[ NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraint removed or
reversed.
OHI039190N
[ Adjust the head restraints so the
middle of the head restraint is at the
same height as the height of the top
of the eyes.
[ NEVER adjust the head restraint
position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.
[ Adjust the head restraint as close to
the passenger’s head as possible. Do
not use a seat cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback.
[ Make sure the head restraint locks
into position after adjusting it.
WARNING
OTL035061
When sitting on the rear seat, do not
adjust the height of the head restraint
to the lowest position.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the rear
seats, adjust the height of the head
restraint to the lowest position. The
rear seat head restraint can reduce the
visibility of the rear area.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull
on the head restraints.
