WARNING

Head restraints are designed to support the head not the back of the neck. The head restraint must be positioned correctly to restrain rearward movement of the head in a collision.

WARNING

Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head restraint is above the center line of the head. An incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

WARNING

It is possible to swivel the head restraint forwards or backwards. For greater protection in the event of a collision, the head restraint should be adjusted so that it is as close to the back of the head as is practical.

WARNING

Do not drive, or carry passengers with the head restraints removed from occupied seats. The absence of a correctly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision.

WARNING

Never adjust the head restraints while the vehicle is in motion.

1. Press the locking collar to release the head restraint.

2. While pressing the locking collar, move the head restraint up or down to the required position. The head restraint should be above the center line of the head, as shown in the diagram on page 19, SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION.

3. Manually tilt the head restraint so that it is as close to the back of the head as is practical.

Manual head restraints may be removed, if required (e.g. to fit larger child seats). Raise the head restraint to its uppermost position and press the locking collar. Lift the restraint out of the seatback.

WARNING

Always store a removed head restraint securely.

Ensure the head restraint is refitted before the seat is used by a passenger.

To refit the head restraint, ensure it is facing the correct direction, insert the stems of the head restraint into the sockets and push it downwards until at least the first click.

Note: Refer to 30, CHILD SEATS, for details on correct child restraint fitment.
