Head restraints
N00404300496
Padded head restraints for the seats can reduce the risk of a
whiplash injury if your vehicle is hit from the rear.
The head restraints are equipped in the illustrated position.
To maximize the effectiveness of your head restraint, adjust the
head restraint to the proper position. For the driver and front
passenger, adjust the seatbacks to the upright position before
adjusting the head restraints. Sit back against the seatback with
your head close to the head restraint.
WARNING
!
● In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to
a rear impact, the head restraint must be adjusted to
the proper position before vehicle operation. For the
driver and front passenger, the seatbacks must be
adjusted to the upright position before adjusting the
head restraints.
The driver should never adjust the seat while the
vehicle is in motion.
● Driving without the head restraints in place can
cause you and your passengers serious injury or
death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in
an accident, always make sure the head restraints
are installed and properly positioned when the seat
is occupied.
● Never place a cushion or similar device on the seat-
back. This can adversely affect head restraint per-
formance by increasing the distance between your
head and the restraint.
