Seats and Restraints 45
Head Restraints
Front Seats
{Warning
With head restraints that
are not installed and
adjusted properly, there is a
greater chance that
occupants will suffer a neck/
spinal injury in a crash. Do

restraints for all occupants
are installed and adjusted
properly.
The vehicle's front seats have
adjustable head restraints in
the outboard seating
positions.
Adjust the head restraint so
that the top of the restraint is
at the same height as the top
of the occupant's head. This
position reduces the chance of
a neck injury in a crash.

restraint can be adjusted.To raise or lower the head
restraint, press the button
located on the side of the
head restraint, and pull up or
push the head restraint down,

against your body. Instead, it
will be in front of you. In a
crash, you could go into it,
receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt could go up
over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not
at your pelvic bones. This
could cause serious internal
injuries.(Continued)
