WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/
headrests must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the ad-
justment after someone else uses the
seat. Do not attach anything to the head
restraint/headrest stalks or remove the
head restraints/headrests. Do not use
the seat if the head restraint/headrest
has been removed. If the head restraint/
headrest was removed, reinstall and
properly adjust the head restraint/
headrest before an occupant uses the
seating position. Failure to follow these
instructions can reduce the effectiveness
of the head restraint/headrest. This may
increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision.
The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with a head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a head restraint.
+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped
with a head restraint or headrest (if applicable).
• Your vehicle is equipped with a head restraint/
headrest that may be integrated, adjustable or
non-adjustable.
• Adjustable head restraints/headrests have mul-
tiple notches along the stalks to lock them in a
desired adjustment position.
• The non-adjustable head restraints/headrests
have a single locking notch to secure them to
the seat frame.
• Proper Adjustment:
– For the adjustable type, align the head
restraint/headrest so the center of your ear
is approximately level with the center of the
head restraint/headrest.
– If your ear position is still higher than the
recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.
• If the head restraint/headrest has been re-
moved, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in
place before riding in that designated seating
position.
