Headrest (For Front Seat) - Kia CARNIVAL Owner's Manual

Safety features of your vehicle

Headrest (for front seat)

The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and com -
fort.
OYPI039310
The headrest not only provides
comfort for the driver and front
passenger, but also helps protect
the head and neck in the event of a
collision.
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the centre of gravity of
an occupant's head. Generally, the
centre of gravity of most people's
head is similar with the height of
the top of their eyes. Also, adjust
the headrest as close to your
head as possible. For this reason,
the use of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seatback
is not recommended.

Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed. Severe
injury to the occupants may occur
in the event of an accident. Head -
rests may provide protection
against neck injuries when prop -
erly adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest posi -
tion of the driver's seat whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
