Headrest
WARNING
僅 For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head
-
rest in at the same height of the cen
-
ter of gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity of
most people's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes. Also,
adjust the headrest as close to your
head as possible. For this reason, the
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not recom
-
mended.
僅 Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed or reversed as
severe injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protection
against neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
僅 Do not adjust the headrest position of
the driver's seat while the vehicle is in
motion.
僅 Make sure the headrest locks in posi
-
tion after adjusting it to properly pro
-
tect the occupants.
僅 Never allow anyone to ride in a seat
with the headrests removed.
僅 Always make sure the headrest locks
into position after reinstalling and
adjusting it properly.
CAUTION
僅 When there is no occupant in the rear
seats, adjust the height of the head
-
rest to the lowest position. The rear
seat headrest can reduce the visibility
of the rear area.
僅 If you recline the seatback towards
the front with the headrest and seat
cushion raised, the headrest may
come in contact with the sun visor or
other parts of the vehicle.
