The driver and front passenger seats are equipped with head restraints for occupant safety and comfort.

The head restraint not only provides comfort for the driver and front passenger, but also helps protect the head and neck in the event of a rear impact.

For maximum effectiveness in an accident, adjust the head restraint so that its center is level with the center of gravity of the occupant's head. Generally, the center of gravity of most people's head is at the height of the top of their eyes.

Also, adjust the head restraint as close to the head as possible. For this reason, using a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not recommended.

WARNING - Head Restraint Removal/Adjustment

  • Do not drive the vehicle with the head restraints removed. Head restraints provide critical neck and head support in a crash.
  • Do not adjust the head restraint height while the vehicle is moving. The driver may lose control of the vehicle.

CAUTION

Excessive pulling or pushing may damage the head restraint.
