Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints on all outboard seats and the
second-row/third-row center seat
*.
The head restraints are intended to
help protect you and the passengers
from neck injury.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Head Restraints
WARNING
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
adjusted.
Driving with the head restraints
adjusted too low or removed is
dangerous. With no support behind
your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
After installing a head restraint, try
lifting it to make sure that it does not
pull out.
Driving with an unsecured head
restraint is dangerous as the
effectiveness of the head restraint will
be compromised which could cause it
to unexpectedly detach from the seat.
(Third-row seat)
Always drive with the head restraints
in their upright positions when the
third-row seats are occupied, and
make sure they are securely locked in
place.
Driving with the head restraints folded
down is dangerous. With no support
behind your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
