WARNING
29) 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 collision
30) Head restraints must be adjusted
so that the head, rather than the neck,
rests on them. Only in this case they can
protect your head correctly.
31)
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.
32) All adjustments must be made with
the car stationary. Head restraints must
be adjusted so that the head, rather than
the neck, rests on them. Only in this case
they can protect your head correctly.
33) ALL the head restraints MUST be
reinstalled in the vehicle to properly
protect the occupants.
