WARNING
In order to minimize the risk of a neck
injury due to a rear impact, the head
restraint must be adjusted to the proper
position before vehicle operation.
Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause your passengers serious
injury or death in an accident. To reduce
the risk of injury in an accident, always
make sure the head restraints are installed
and properly positioned when the seat is

Never place a cushion or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your passenger's
head and the restraint.
