Head Restraints - Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander 2019 Owner's Manual

Head restraints

Head restraints can reduce the risk of a whip-
lash injury if your vehicle is hit from the rear.
The head restraints are equipped in the illus-
trated position.
To maximize the effectiveness of the head
restraints, adjust the seatback to the upright
position, and the head restraint to the proper
position. Sit back against the seatback with
your head close to the head restraint.
*: Seating 7 passengers
WARNING
 Driving without the head restraints in
N00404301594
place can cause you and 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 occupied.
 In order to minimize the risk of a neck
injury due to a rear impact, the seatback
must be adjusted to the upright position
and the head restraint must be adjusted to
the proper position before vehicle opera-
tion. The driver should never adjust the
seat while the vehicle is in motion.
 Never place a cushion or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
