event of an accident or when braking.
Always drive with the head restraints instal-

vehicle occupant that the center of the head
restraint supports the back of the head at
about eye level.
Do not rotate the head restraints of the front

the height and angle of the head restraints to
the correct position.
Using the fore-and-aft adjustment, adjust the

to your head.
