Head Restraints

The front and rear seats (second row and/or third row) have adjustable head restraints. Head restraints provide comfort for passengers but, more importantly, they are designed to help protect occupants from whiplash and other neck and spinal injuries in a crash, especially in a rear-end collision.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in an accident, observe the following precautions when adjusting your head restraints:

• Always properly adjust the head restraints for all occupants BEFORE starting the vehicle.
• NEVER allow anyone to ride in a seat with the head restraints removed or installed upside down.

• Adjust the head restraints so that the center of the head restraints is at the same height as the top of your eyes.
• NEVER adjust the head restraint or driver's seat position while the vehicle is moving.
• Adjust the head restraint as close to the occupant's head as possible. Do not use a seat cushion that keeps your body away from the seatback.
• Make sure the head restraints are locked in position after adjustment.

WARNING

When sitting in the rear seat, do not adjust the head restraint to the lowest position.

PLEDGE

When there are no passengers in the rear seats, adjust the head restraints to the lowest position. Rear seat head restraints may reduce rear visibility.

NOTICE

To avoid damage, NEVER strike or pull on the head restraints.
