  • Do not drive the vehicle without the rear seat head restraints installed when passengers occupy the rear seat. In a collision, persons riding in this area without head restraints installed are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
  • An unsecured head restraint thrown forward in a collision or sudden stop can cause serious injury or death to vehicle occupants. Always securely store a removed head restraint in a location outside the passenger compartment.
  • ALL head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle for proper occupant protection. Follow the reinstallation instructions above before operating the vehicle or occupying the seat.
