Warning!
With the second-row middle seat or a third-
row seat occupied, make sure to move the
respective head restraint up from the
lowest non-use position and have the
occupant adjust the head restraint
properly.
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint so that it is as
close to the head as possible and the center
of the head restraint supports the back of
the head at eye level. This will reduce the
potential for injury to the head and neck in
the event of an accident or similar situation.
