CAUTION
When there is no occupant in
the rear seats, adjust the height
of the headrest to the lowest
position. The rear seat headrest
can reduce the visibility of the
rear area.
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height of the centre of
gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the centre of gravity
of most people's head is simi-
lar 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 seat-
back is not recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle
with the headrests removed.
Severe injury to an occupant
may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may pro-
vide protection against severe
neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
