Head Restraints

See page

for important safety

information and a warning about how to

properly position the head restraints.

The front head restraints help

protect you and your passenger from
whiplash and other injuries. They are
most effective when you adjust them
so the back of the occupant's head
rests against the center of the
restraint. A taller person should
adjust the restraint as high as
possible.

The front head restraints adjust for

height. You need both hands to
adjust the restraint. Do not attempt
to adjust it while driving. To raise it,
pull upward. To lower the restraint,
push the release button sideways
and push the restraint down.

To remove a head restraint for

cleaning or repair, pull it up as far as
it will go. Push the release button
and pull the restraint out of the seat-

back.

to brake hard. See
