Head Restraints - Hyundai Sonata 2016 Owner's Manual

Safety system of your vehicle

Head Restraints

The vehicle's front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly
they are designed to help protect
passengers from whiplash and other
neck and spinal injuries during an
accident, especially in a rear impact
collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your
restraints:
•
Always properly adjust the
head restraints for all passen-
gers BEFORE starting the
vehicle.
•
NEVER let anyone ride in a
seat with the head restraints
removed.

•
Adjust the head restraints so
the middle of the head restraint
is at the same height as the
height of the top of the eyes.
•
NEVER adjust
head
restraint position of the dri-
ver's seat when the vehicle is
in motion.
•
Adjust the head restraint as
close to the passenger's head
as possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
•
Make sure the head restraint
locks into position after adjust-
ing it.
