Headrest Removal
NEVER allow anyone to ride in a seat
with the headrest removed or reversed.
Headrests can provide critical neck and
head support in a crash.
Reinstalling headrest
Type A
Type B
To reinstall the headrest:
1. Put the headrest poles (2) into the
holes while pressing the release but
-
ton (1).
2. Recline the seatback (4) with the
recline lever or switch (3).
3. Adjust the headrest to the appropriate
height.
Headrest Reinstallation
To reduce the risk of injury to the head
or neck, always make sure the headrest
is locked into position and adjusted
properly after reinstalling.
Headrest (for rear seat)
The rear seat is equipped with headrests
in all the seating positions for the occu
-
pant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for passengers, but also helps protect
the head and neck in the event of a colli
-
sion.
For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the headrest is
at the same height of the center of grav
-
ity of an occupant's head. Generally, the
center of gravity of most people's heads
is similar with the height as the top of
their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close to your
head as possible. For this reason, the use
of a cushion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not recommended.
