WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height of the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is simi-
lar 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 seat-
back is not recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed. Severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an acci-
dent. Headrests may provide
protection against neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
• Do not adjust the headrest
position of the driver's seat
while the vehicle is in motion.
Adjusting the height up and down
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button (2) and lower the headrest to
the desired position (3).
