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.
WARNING!
•
All occupants, including the driver, should not oper-
ate 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.
Front Head Restraints
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head
restraint. To lower the head restraint, push the adjust-
ment 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 but-
ton 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.
WARNING!
•
A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision
or hard stop could cause serious injury or death to
occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow
removed head restraints in a location outside the
occupant compartment.
•
ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the
vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow
the preceding reinstallation instructions prior to
operating the vehicle or occupying a seat.
NOTE:
Do not reposition the head restraint 180 degrees to the
incorrect position in an attempt to gain additional clear-
ance to the back of the head.
Rear Head Restraints
The rear seat is equipped with nonadjustable, but fold-
able, outboard head restraints, as well as an adjust-
able, removable center head restraint.
To fold down the outboard head restraints, push the
button located on the outboard side of the head
restraint.
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.
