Headrest
Adjusting Headrests Properly
Adjusting the headrests properly is of great
importance to protect the driver and passengers
and reduce the risk of injury.
–
Adjust the headrest so that the central back of
your head rests against the center of the
headrest and the top of the headrest is at the
same height as your head (or try your best to
keep them at the same height).
Failure to do so as shown in the figure can
cause serious injury during an accident.
Warning

during accidents, be sure to observe the
following matters:
•
The headrests must always be in their
mounting
positions.
Driving
headrests removed or improperly installed
can cause serious injury during a crash.
•

of the headrests must be even with the top
of their heads as far as possible but not
lower than their eyes. The central back of
