Headrest for front seat
The driver's and front passenger's seats

The headrest not only provides comfort

the event of a rear collision.
For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the headrest is
as high as the center of gravity of an
occupant's head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's heads is the top
of their eyes.
Adjust the headrest as close to your
head as possible. The use of a cushion
that holds the body away from the seat -
back is not recommended.
WARNING
Headrest removal/adjustment
僅 Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed. Headrests can
provide critical neck and head sup -
port in a crash.
僅 Do not adjust the headrest height
while the vehicle is in motion. The
driver may lose control of the vehicle.
