WARNING
 Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when
the seat is occupied.
 In order to minimize the risk of a neck
injury due to a rear impact, the seatback
must be adjusted to the upright position
and the head restraint must be adjusted to
the proper position before vehicle opera-
tion. The driver should never adjust the
seat while the vehicle is in motion.
 Never place a cushion or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
WARNING
 When a person sits in the second center
seating position, pull up the head restraint
to a height at which it locks in position. Be
sure to make this adjustment before start-
ing to drive. Serious injuries could other-
wise be suffered in the result of an impact.
NOTE
 The head restraint height in the second row
outboard seats and the third row seats cannot
be adjusted.

Head restraints
Adjustment of the head
restraint height (front seats)
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
adjust the head restraint height so that the
center of the restraint is at your ear level
when seated. Any person too tall for the
restraint to reach their ear level when seated
should raise the restraint to the highest locked
position.
 To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.
 To lower the restraint, push down on it
while pressing the lock knob (A) in the
direction shown by the arrow.
 After adjusting the height, push down on
the restraint to make sure it is locked in
position.
