Head restraint

The vehicle's front and rear (second row and/or third row) seats have adjustable head restraints. The head restraints are designed to help protect passengers from whiplash and other neck and spinal injuries during a collision, especially a rear impact collision. When there are no occupants in the rear seats, adjust the rear head restraints to the lowest height to improve the driver's visibility.

To help reduce the risk of serious injury or death in an accident, take the following precautions when adjusting your head restraints:

  • Always adjust the head restraints properly for all passengers BEFORE starting the vehicle.

  • Never let anyone ride in a seat with the head restraint removed or reversed.

  • Adjust the head restraints so that the middle of the head restraint is at the same height as the top of the eyes.

  • Never adjust the driver's head restraint when the vehicle is moving.

  • Adjust the head restraint as close to the passenger's head as possible.

  • Make sure the head restraint is locked in place after adjustment.

2C_RearHeadrestCaution

When passengers are sitting on the rear seats, always raise the head restraints above the lowest stored position.

When there is no occupant in the rear seats, adjust the height of the head restraint to the lowest position. The rear seat head restraint can reduce the visibility of the rear area.

To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull on the head restraints.
