Headrest
The rear seat(s) is equipped with
headrests in all the seating positions
for the occupant's safety and com-
fort.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for passengers, but also helps
protect the head and neck in the
event of a collision.

WARNING - Headrest
adjustment
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height as the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravi-
ty of most people's head is
similar with the height of the
top of their eyes.
Also adjust the headrest as
close to your head as possi-
ble. For this reason, the use of
a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not
recommended.

• Do not operate the vehicle
with the headrests removed.
Severe injury to an occupant
may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may pro-
vide protection against severe
neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
• Do not adjust the headrest
height while the vehicle is in
motion.
