HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
WARNING
Head
restraints/headrests
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 sec-
tion. Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach anything
to the head restraint/headrest stalks or
remove the head restraint/headrest. 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 fol-
low these instructions can reduce the ef-
fectiveness
of
the
head
restraints/headrests. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.
The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints/headrests.
᭡ Indicates the seating position is equipped with
a head restraint.
Ⅲ Indicates the seating position is equipped with
a headrest.
+ 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
multiple 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 desig-
nated seating position.
