Adjusting the Head Restraints

The driver's head restraint must be adjusted in height so that the back of the head contacts the center portion of the head restraint.

Make sure the passenger seat head restraints are also properly adjusted. A tall driver or passenger should set the head restraint to its highest position.

When a passenger is seated in the rear seat, the head restraint of that seat must be set to its highest position.

Incorrect head restraint positioning reduces their protective effectiveness and increases the risk of serious injury in a traffic accident.

Before driving, make sure the head restraints of all seats are correctly positioned.

Correct head restraint positioning helps prevent neck and head injuries in a rear-end collision.
