WARNING:
Head restraints supplement the other vehicle
safety systems. They may provide additional
protection against injury in certain rear end
collisions. Adjustable head restraints must be
adjusted properly, as specified in this section.
Check the adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the head
restraint stalks or remove the head restraint. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint has been
removed. If the head restraint was removed,
reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint
before an occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions can reduce
the effectiveness of the head restraint. This may
increase the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.
