vehicle is moving.  
Raise the rear head restraint when  
the rear seat is occupied by a  
passenger.  
When using a forward facing child  
restraint on a rear seat, always

Only when you use the seat belt  
properly, can it hold you in a position  
that allows the airbag to achieve its  
optimum effect.  
When you use them properly, the seat,  
head restraint, seat belt and airbags will  
provide optimum protection in the event  
of a collision. We recommend that you:  
sit in an upright position with the base  
of your spine as far back as possible.  
do not recline the seatback more than  
30 degrees.  
adjust the head restraint so that the  
top of it is level with the top of your  
head and as far forwards as possible,  
remaining comfortable.
