Head restraints
N00404300542
Padded head restraints for the seats can reduce the risk of a
whiplash injury if your vehicle is hit from the rear.
The head restraints are equipped in the illustrated position.
To maximize the effectiveness of your head restraint, adjust the
front seatback to the upright position, the rear seatback to the
normal seating position, and the head restraint to the proper
position. Sit back against the seatback with your head close to
the head restraint.
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 front seatback must be adjusted
to the upright position, the rear seatback to the nor-
mal seating position, and the head restraint to the
proper position before vehicle operation. The driver
should never adjust the seat while the vehicle is in
motion.
● Never place a cushion or similar device on the seat-
back. This can adversely affect head restraint per-
formance by increasing the distance between your
head and the restraint.
