The head restraints must be correctly adjusted to achieve the best protection.
- Adjust the head restraints so the upper edge is as even as possible with the top of your head. If that is not possible, try to adjust the head restraint so that it is as close to this position as possible.
- If there is a passenger on the rear center seating position, slide the center head restraint upward at least to the next notch.
WARNING
All seats are equipped with head restraints.
Driving without head restraints or with head restraints that are not properly adjusted increases the risk of serious or fatal neck injury dramatically. To help reduce the risk of injury:
- Always drive with the head restraints in place and properly adjusted.
- Every person in the vehicle must have a property adjusted head restraint.
- Always make sure each person in the vehicle properly adjusts their
head restraint. Adjust the head restraints so the upper edge is as even as
possible with the top of your head.
If that is not possible, try to adjust the head restraint so that it is as close to this position as possible.
- Never attempt to adjust head restraint while driving. If you have driven off and must adjust the driver headrest for any reason, first stop the vehicle safely before attempting to adjust the head restraint.
- Children must always be properly restrained in a child restraint that is appropriate for their age and size.
