HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be
adjusted properly, as specified in this
section.
Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not at-
tach 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 ad-
just 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 colli-
sion.
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.
