44 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by
restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact.
Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the
head restraint is located above the top of your ear.
Front Head Restraints
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head
restraint. To lower the head restraint, push the adjustment
button located on the base of the head restraint, and push
downward on the head restraint. The release button does
not need to be pushed to adjust the head restraint.
To remove the head restraint, raise it as far as it can go,
then push the adjustment button and the release button
at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint
up. To reinstall the head restraint, put the head restraint
posts into the holes and push downward. Then adjust it to
the appropriate height.
Front Head Restraint
NOTE:
Do not reposition the head restraint 180 degrees to the
incorrect position in an attempt to gain additional
clearance to the back of the head.
Rear Head Restraints
The rear seat is equipped with nonadjustable, but
foldable, outboard head restraints, as well as an
adjustable, removable center head restraint.
To fold down the outboard head restraints, push the
button located on the outboard side of the head restraint.
Rear Foldable Outboard Head Restraints
To return the head restraint to its upward position, lift up
on the head restraint until it locks into place.
To raise the center head restraint, lift up on the head
restraint. To lower the center head restraint, push the
adjustment button, located at the base of the head
restraint, and push down on the head restraint.
To remove the center head restraint, raise it as far as it
can go. Then, push the adjustment button and the release
button at the base of each post while pulling the head
restraint up.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver, should not
operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the
head restraints are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event
of a crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the event of
a collision.

compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the
vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow the
preceding reinstallation instructions prior to oper-
ating the vehicle or occupying a seat.
