Before driving, make sure everyone
with an adjustable head restraint has
properly positioned the head
restraint. The restraint should be
positioned so the back of the
occupant’s head rests against the
center of the restraint. A taller
person should adjust the restraint as
high as possible.

See page

for how to adjust seat-

backs.

Reclining a seat-back so that the
shoulder part of the belt no longer
rests against the occupant’s chest
reduces the protective capability of
the belt. It also increases the chance
of sliding under the belt in a crash
and being seriously injured. The
farther a seat-back is reclined, the
greater the risk of injury.

See page

for how to adjust the

head restraints.

Properly adjusted head restraints
will help protect occupants from
whiplash and other crash injuries.

Improperly positioning head

restraints reduces their

effectiveness and you can be

seriously injured in a crash.

Make sure head restraints are

in place and positioned properly

before driving.

Reclining the seat-back too far

can result in serious injury or

death in a crash.

Adjust the seat-back to an

upright position and sit well

back in the seat.
