Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints
in all seating positions.
Head restraints are most effective for
protection against whiplash and other rear-
impact crash injuries when the center of the
back of the occupant's head rests against the
center of the restraint. The tops of the
occupant's ears should be level with the
center height of the restraint.

For a head restraint system to work properly:
• Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or
from the restraint legs.

the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.

reduces their effectiveness and increases
the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.

positioned properly before driving.
