Adjust the driver’s head restraint so
the back of your head rests against
the centre of the restraint.
When you use the rear seat, adjust
the head restraint to the highest
position by pulling it upward. You
cannot use this head restraint in the
lower position.
Properly adjusted head restraints
will help protect occupants from
whiplash and other crash injuries.
See page
for how to adjust the
head restraints.
Reclining a seat-back so that the
shoulder part of the belt no longer
rests against the occupant’s chest
reduces the protective capability of
the belt. It also increases the chance
of sliding under the belt in a crash
and being seriously injured. The
farther a seat-back is reclined, the
greater the risk of injury.
See page
for how to adjust the
seat-backs.
Have passengers with adjustable
head restraints adjust their restraints
properly as well. Taller persons
should adjust their restraint as high
as possible.

Reclining the seat-back too
far can result in serious injury
or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an
upright position, and sit well
back in the seat.
Improperly positioning head
restraints reduces their
effectiveness and you can be
seriously injured in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are
in place and positioned
properly before driving.
