HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact.
Head restraints should be adjusted so
that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
Warning!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the occupant
compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be
reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation
instructions above prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat.
Do not place items over the top of the
Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players. These
items may interfere with the operation of
the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of
a collision and could result in serious injury
or death.
Front Head Restraints (Adjustments)
Note:
If the vehicle is equipped with Sparco
Racing Seats, the head restraints are not
adjustable or removable.
The front head restraints may be
height-adjustable. To adjust them,
operate as follows:
Upward adjustment: Pull upward on
the head restraint until it clicks into
place.
Downward adjustment: Push the
adjustment button and lower the head
restraint at the same time.
Warning!
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat
until the head restraints are placed in their
proper positions in order to minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improperly
adjusted or removed could cause serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.
Note:
To allow for maximum visibility for the
driver, if a seat is not occupied by a
passenger, the head restraint can be
lowered to the fully lowered position.
Rear Head Restraints (Adjustments)
Warning!
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat
until the head restraints are placed in their
proper positions in order to minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
