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 help 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.

[
B0701EU01
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.
