Head restraint
A rear seat is equipped with a head
restraint for an occupant's safety and
comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort, but also helps to protect the
head and neck in the event of a colli-
sion.
WARNING
• For maximum effects in case of
an accident, the median height
of a head restraint should be
adjusted to the gravity center of
an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is located
at the top of their eyes. Also,
adjust the head restraint as
close to your head as possible.
For this reason, the use of a
cushion, which holds the body
away from the seatback, is not
recommended.
• Do not drive the vehicle with a
head restraint
because severe injury may
occur to an occupant in the
event of an accident. A properly-
adjusted head restraint may pro-
vide protection against neck
injury.
