When a passenger is seated in the
rear seating position, make sure the
rear head restraint is adjusted to its
highest position.
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.
Properly adjusted head restraints
will help protect occupants from
whiplash and other crash injuries.
See page
166
for how to adjust the
head restraints and how the driver's
and front passenger's active head
restraints work.

Fasten and Position the Seat
Belts
Insert the latch plate into the buckle,
then tug on the belt to make sure the

the belt is not twisted, because a
twisted belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash.
