Ford Police Interceptor Sedan (2018 year). Manual — part 21

WARNINGS

The adjustable head restraint is a
safety device. Whenever possible it
should be installed and properly

adjusted when the seat is occupied. An
improperly adjusted head restraint may
provide reduced protection to an occupant
during certain rear impacts.

Install the head restraint properly to
help minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.

Note:

driving position before adjusting the head
restraint. Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of your head
and as far forward as possible. Make sure

extremely tall, adjust the head restraint to
its highest position.
