Knowing your vehicle
Headrest adjustment
Adjusting the height up and down
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and passengers,
but also helps to protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button (2) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position (3). For best protection,
adjust the headrest so its centre is as
high as your ears. Also adjust the
headrest so its distance from the
head is as wide as your fist.
Removal
To remove the headrest, raise it as
far as it can go then press the
release lever (1) whilst pulling
upward (2).
If the vehicle is equipped with an
active headrest, you can not remove
the headrest.
Active headrest (if equipped)
The active headrest is designed to
move forward and upward during a
rear impact. This helps to prevent the
driver's and front passenger’s heads
from moving backward and thus
helps prevent neck injuries.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of head and
neck injuries, do not drive the
vehicle with the headrest
removed or improperly posi-
tioned. Do not adjust the dri-
ver’s headrest whilst driving.
