- Fig. 285 Head restraint (seen from the front)
The head restraints must be adjusted properly to provide maximum protection.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head restraint is level with the top of your head. If this is not possible, try to adjust the head restraint as near as possible to this position.
( Applies to: head restraints with forward/rearward adjustment: ) Position the head restraint as close as possible to the back of your head.
Before carrying passengers on the rear seats, pull the head restraints on the occupied seats all the way up.
