HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
The head restraints for all occupants must be properly installed and adjusted prior to
operating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.
Head Restraints — Front Seats
The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with four-way head restraints.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head restraint, push the
adjustment button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push downward on the head
restraint. Front head restraints are also adjustable forward and rearward.
NOTE:
To remove the head restraint, raise it as far as it can go then push the release button and the
adjustment button at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint up. Seatback angle
may need to be adjusted to fully remove the head restraint. To reinstall the head restraint, put the
head restraint posts into the holes and push downward. Then adjust the head restraint to the
appropriate height.
• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could cause serious injury or
death to occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow removed head restraints in a
location outside the occupant compartment.
• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect the
occupants. Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating the vehicle or
occupying a seat.
Head Restraints — Second Row
The second row outboard head restraints are non-adjustable. The removable 8th passenger seat
(if equipped) has an adjustable head restraint.
