Properly adjusted head restraints are an important part of the vehicle's occupant protection system. They can help to reduce the risk of injuries in most accident situations.
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 Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
For more information on how to adjust the head restraints, see Link.

  • Incorrectly adjusted head restraints could lead to death in the event of a collision or accident.
  • Incorrectly adjusted head restraints can also increase the risk of injury during sudden or unexpected braking or other manoeuvres.
  • The head restraints must always be adjusted according to the occupant's size.
