Headrest (for rear seat)
The rear seat(s) is equipped with
headr
ests in all the seating positions
for the occupant'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 col‐
lision.
WARNING
• 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 gravity of
an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity of
most people's head is similar with
the height of 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.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the
headrests removed. Severe in‐
jury to an occupant may occur in
the event of an accident. Headr‐
ests may provide protection
against severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the
r
ear seats, adjust the height of the

Adjusting the height up and down
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desir
ed position (1). To lower the head‐
rest, push and hold the release button
(2) on the headrest support and lower
the headrest to the desired position (3).
