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 illus-
trated position.
To maximize the effectiveness of your head
restraint, adjust the head restraint to the
proper position. For the driver and front pas-
senger, adjust the seatbacks to the upright
position before adjusting the head restraints.
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 eye level
when seated. Any person too tall for the
restraint to reach their eye 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.
Press the lock knob (A) in the direction
shown by the arrows. Then pull the head
restraint up and out of the seatback.

WARNING
 In order to minimize the risk of a neck
injury due to a rear impact, the head
restraint must be adjusted to the proper
position before vehicle operation. For the
driver and front passenger, the seatbacks
must be adjusted to the upright position
before adjusting the head restraints. The
driver should never adjust the seat while
the vehicle is in motion.
 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.
 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.
