Headrest for rear seat
The headrest not only provides comfort for passengers, 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.
Adjusting the height up and down
-
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the desired position (1).
-
To lower the headrest, push and hold the release button (2) on the headrest support and lower the headrest to the desired position (3).
Removal and reinstallation
-
To remove the headrest, raise it as far as it can go then press the release button (1) while pulling the headrest upward (2).
-
To reinstall the headrest, put the headrest poles (3) into the holes while pressing the release button (1).
Then adjust it to the appropriate height and ensure that it locks in position.
Wing-out headrest (if equipped)
For rear outboard passenger's comfort, the ends of the headrest can be adjusted inward.
3rd row automatic folding headrest
-
The seatbacks and headrests will automatically fold by pulling the 3rd row seat folding straps located on the seatback.
-
Manually return the headrest after raising the seatback. Always make sure the headrest is locked in place.
The height of the 3rd row automatic folding headrests cannot be adjusted.
