Picture 3: A well adjusted head restraint
Picture 4: A poorly adjusted head restraint
Picture 3: This picture shows another example of a properly adjusted head restraint.
As in Picture 1, the two main points to note are that the head restraint is as high as the
top of the occupant’s head, and the restraint is close to the back of the head.
Picture 4: This picture is an example of a poorly adjusted head restraint.
The picture shows the distance between the top of the occupant’s head and the top of
the head restraint, which would increase the risk of an injury.
The head restraint should be moved higher, as shown in picture 3.
