Head Restraints

Your vehicle is equipped with head 

restraints on all outboard seats and the 

rear center seat. The head restraints are 

intended to help protect you and the 

passengers from neck injury.

WARNING

Always drive with the head restraints 

installed when seats are being used and 

make sure they are properly adjusted:

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.

Height adjustment

To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the 

desired position.

To lower the head restraint, press the stop-

catch release, then push the head restraint 

down.

Adjust the head restraint so that the center 

is even with the top of the passenger's ears.
