Head Restraints  
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints on all outboard  
seats and the rear center seat. The head restraints are intended  
to help protect you and the passengers from neck injury.  
WARNING  
Always drive with the head restraints installed when seats are being  
used and make sure they are properly adjusted. In addition, always  
raise the head restraints on all rear seats when they are being used  
Driving with the head restraints adjusted too low or removed is dangerous.  
With no support behind your head, your neck could be seriously injured in a  
collision.  
Height Adjustment  
Adjust the head restraint so that  
the center is even with the top of  
the passenger’s ears.  
To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the desired position.  
To lower the head restraint, press the stop-catch release, then push  
the head restraint down.

WARNING  
Always drive with the head restraints installed when seats are being  
used and make sure they are properly installed  
Driving with the head restraints not installed is dangerous. With no support  
behind your head, your neck could be seriously injured in a collision.  
When installing a head restraint, make sure that it is installed correctly with  
the front of the head restraint facing forward. If the head restraint is  
installed incorrectly, it could detach from the seat during a collision and  
result in injury.  
The head restraints on each of the front and rear seats are specialized to  
each seat. Do not switch around the head restraint positions. If a head  
restraint is not installed to its correct seat position, the effectiveness of the  
head restraint during a collision will be compromised which could cause  
injury.  
After installing a head restraint, try lifting it to make sure that it does  
not pull out  
Driving with an unsecured head restraint is dangerous as the effectiveness  
of the head restraint will be compromised which could cause it to unexpect-  
edly detach from the seat.
