Head Restraints
Head restraints are designed to help
reduce the risk of neck injuries in case of
an accident. Adjust the head restraint to
the position which places the center of the
head restraint closest to the top of your
ears. If this is not possible for very tall pas-
sengers, adjust the head restraint as high
as possible.
79K088
Your vehicle is equipped with three head
restraints on the rear seat.

(1) Head restraint
(2) Bars
(3) Release knob
To raise the rear head restraint, pull
upward on the restraint until it clicks. To
lower the restraint, push down on the
restraint while holding in the release knob
(3). If a head restraint must be removed
(for cleaning, replacement, etc.), push in
the release knob and pull the head
restraint all the way out.
When installing a child restraint system,
raise the head restraint to the most upper
position.
WARNING
All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in
a vehicle’s seat until the head
restraints are placed in their proper
positions in order to minimize the
risk of severe injury in the event of a
crash.
WARNING
All head restraints must be rein-
stalled to properly protect vehicle
occupants.
WARNING
• Never drive the vehicle with the
head restraints removed.
• Do not attempt to adjust the head
restraint while driving.
