Headrest (for front seat)
The driver's and front passenger's seats are equipped with a headrest for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort for the driver and front passenger, but also helps protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.
To maximize the effectiveness in case of accidents, the headrest should be adjusted so the middle of the headrest is as high as the center of gravity of an occupant's head. Generally, the center of gravity of most people's heads is similar with the height as the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close to your head as possible. For this reason, the use of a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not recommended.
Headrest removal/adjustment
-
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed. Headrests can provide critical neck and head support in a crash.
-
Do not adjust the headrest height while the vehicle is in motion. Driver may lose control of the vehicle.
Excessive pulling or pushing may damage the headrest.
