The front and rear seats have adjustable head restraints. They are designed for occupant comfort, but more importantly, they protect occupants from whiplash and other neck and spine injuries in a collision, especially in a rear impact.

WARNING

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

  • Always adjust the headrests correctly for all passengers BEFORE driving the vehicle.
  • NEVER allow anyone to ride in a seat with the head restraint removed.
  • Adjust the head restraints so that the center of the head restraints is at the same height as the top of the eyes (see illustration).
  • NEVER adjust the driver's seat headrest position while the vehicle is moving.
  • Adjust the headrest as close as possible to the passenger's head. Do not use a cushion that keeps the body away from the seatback.
  • Make sure the head restraint is locked in the desired position after adjusting it.

CAUTION

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