Head Restraint - Hyundai KONA 2024 Owner's Manual

Seats & Safety System
WARNING
Lock the seatback properly. In a collision
or sudden stop, an unlocked seatback
may allow cargo to move forward with
great force and may result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from moving in a collision and
causing serious injury or death to the
vehicle occupants. Do not place objects
in the rear seats, because they cannot be
properly secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
Armrest

The armrest is located in the center of the
rear seat. Pull the armrest down from the
seatback to use it.

Head restraint

The vehicle's front and rear seats have
adjustable head restraints. The head
restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and spinal
injuries during an accident, especially in a
rear impact collision. When there are no
occupants in the rear seats, adjust the
rear head restraints to the lowest height
to improve the driver's visibility.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:
• Always adjust the head restraints
properly for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
• Never let anyone ride in a seat with the
head restraint removed or reversed.
• Adjust the head restraints so that the
middle of the head restraint is at the
same height as the top of the eyes.

• Never adjust the head restraint position
of the driver's seat when the vehicle is
moving.
• Adjust the head restraint as close to the
passenger's head as possible. Do not
use a seat cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
• Make sure the head restraint locks into
position after adjusting it.
