Head Restraints
The vehicle
’
s front seats have adjustable
head restraints in the outboard seating
positions.
{
Warning
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly, there is a
greater chance that occupants will suffer
a neck/spinal injury in a crash. Do not
drive until the head restraints for all
occupants are installed and adjusted
properly.
If your vehicle has rear head restraints
that fold down, always return them to
the full upright position whenever an
occupant is seated in the seat.
