Head restraints can reduce the risk of a whip-
lash injury if your vehicle is hit from the rear.
The head restraints are equipped in the illus-
trated position.
To maximize the effectiveness of the head
restraints, adjust the seatback to the upright
position, and the head restraint to the proper
position. Sit back against the seatback with
your head close to the head restraint.
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
adjust the head restraint height so that the
center of the restraint is at your ear level
when seated. Any person too tall for the
restraint to reach their ear level when seated
should raise the restraint to the highest locked
position.
 To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.
 To lower the restraint, push down on it
while pressing the lock knob (A) in the
direction shown by the arrow.
 After adjusting the height, push down on
the restraint to make sure it is locked in
position.
Head restraints WARNING
 Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when
the seat is occupied.
 In order to minimize the risk of a neck
injury due to a rear impact, the seatback
must be adjusted to the upright position
and the head restraint must be adjusted to
the proper position before vehicle opera-
tion. The driver should never adjust the
seat while the vehicle is in motion.
 Never place a cushion or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
