Head Restraint

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 top 
parallels the top of the passenger’s ears, 
never the passenger’s neck.

Removal

To remove the head restraint, press the 
stop-catch release, then pull up on the 
head restraint.

When returning a rear-reclined 
seatback to its upright position, make 
sure you support the seatback while 
operating the seatback lever. If the 
seatback is not supported, it will flip 
forward suddenly and could cause 
injury.

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.
