qRemoval/Installation
To remove the head restraint, pull it up
while pressing the stop-catch.
To install the head restraint, insert the legs
into the holes while pressing the stop-
catch.
WARNING
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
installed:
Driving with the head restraints not
installed is dangerous. With no
support behind your head, your neck
could be seriously injured in a
collision.
After installing a head restraint, try
lifting it to make sure that it does not
pull out:
Driving with an unsecured head
restraint is dangerous as the
effectiveness of the head restraint will
be compromised which could cause it
to unexpectedly detach from the seat.

CAUTION
Ø When installing a head restraint,
make sure that it is installed
correctly with the front of the head
restraint facing forward. If the
head restraint is installed
incorrectly, it could detach from
the seat during a collision and
result in injury.
Ø The head restraints on each of the
front and rear seats are
specialized to each seat. Do not
switch around the head restraint
positions. If a head restraint is not
installed to its correct seat
position, the effectiveness of the
head restraint during a collision
will be compromised which could
cause injury.
