ting Headrests Properly
Adjusting the headrests properly is of great
importance to protect the driver and passengers
and reduce the risk of injury.
– Adjust the headre
st so that the central back of
your head rests against the center of the
headrest and the top of the headrest is at the
same height as your head (or try your
best to
keep them at the same height).
Failure to do so as shown in the figure can
cause serious injury during an accident.
Warning
To reduce the risk of injuries and deaths
during accidents, be sure to observe the
following matters:
• The headrests must always be in their
mounting positions. Driving with the
headrests removed or improperly installed
can cause serious injury during a crash.
•
All the drivers and passengers mu
st adjust
their headrests to correct positions
according to their own body types. The top
of the headrests must be even with the top
of their heads as far as possible but not
lower than their eyes. The central back of
their heads should rest against the
headrests as far as pos
sible.
•
Improperly-adjusted headrests will
increase the risk of injury during a crash or
emergency braking.
• While driving, do not adjust the headrests.
Caution
Passengers of smaller size should adjust their
headrests as low as possible. Taller persons
should adjust their headrests as high as possible.
