Safety features of your vehicle

Head restraint
The driver's and front passenger's seats
are equipped with a head restraint for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort for the driver and front passen-
ger, but also helps to protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
Forward and backward (if equipped)
The head restraint will be adjusted for-
ward to 3 positions by pulling it forward.
To adjust the head restraint backward,
pull it fully forward to the foremost posi-
tion and release it. Adjust the head
restraint so that it properly supports the
head and neck.
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint is
at the same height of the centre
of gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the centre of gravity of
most people's head is similar
with the height of the top of their
eyes. Also, adjust the head
restraint as close to your head as
possible. For this reason, the use
of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not
recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with
the head restraints removed as
severe injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an acci-
dent. Head restraints may provide
protection against neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
Do not adjust the head restraint
position of the driver’s seat
whilst the vehicle is in motion.
