Head Restraint

Returning Rear Seatbacks to the 
Upright Position:
A rear seatback not fully returned 
and locked in the upright position is 
dangerous. Sudden stops or 
maneuvering could cause a seatback 
to flip forward suddenly resulting in 
injury. If the red indicator is visible 
on the back of the rear seatback knob, 
the seatback is not locked in the 
upright position. When returning the 
seatback to the upright position, make 
sure there is no red indication.

Head Restraints Adjustment:
Driving with the head restraints 
adjusted too low or removed is 
dangerous. With no support behind 
your head, your neck could be 
seriously injured in a collision. 
Always drive with the head restraints 
inserted when seats are being used 
and make sure they are properly 
adjusted.
