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.
. Your vehicle is equipped with a head restraint that
may be integrated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
. Adjustable head restraints have multiple notches
along the stalk to lock them in a desired
adjustment position.
. The non-adjustable head restraints have single
locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.
. Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the head restraint
so the center of your ear is approximately level
with the center of the head restraint.
— If your ear position is still higher than the
recommended alignment, place the head
restraint at the highest position.
. If the head restraint has been removed, ensure
that it is reinstalled and locked in place before
riding in that designated seating position.
