Headrest reinstallation
To reduce the risk of injury to the head
or neck, always make sure the headrest
is locked into position and adjusted

accidents, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the headrest is
as high as the center of gravity of an
occupant's head. Generally, the center of

with the height as 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 recommended.
