Adjustment Of The Head Restraint Height - Mitsubishi LANCER 2012 Manual

Seat and restraint systems
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. For the
driver and front passenger, the seatbacks must be
adjusted to the upright position before adjusting the
head restraints. The driver should never adjust the
seat while the vehicle is in motion.
Driving without the head restraints in place can
cause you and your passengers serious injury or
2
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.
Never place a cushion or similar device on the seat-
back. This can adversely affect head restraint per-
formance by increasing the distance between your
head and the restraint.

Adjustment of the head restraint height

To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head
restraint height so that the center of the restraint is at your eye
level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach
their eye level when seated should raise the restraint to the
highest locked position.
To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.
To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the
lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow.
After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to
make sure it is locked in position.
