Headrest (for rear seat)
The rear seat(s) is equipped with headrests in all the seating positions for the occupant's safety and comfort.
* : 2nd-row center headrest for 8 seats
The headrest not only provides comfort for passengers, but also helps protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.
-
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest should be adjusted so the middle of the headrest is at the same height as the center of gravity of an occupant's head. Generally, the center of gravity of most people's head is similar with the height of 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.
-
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed or reversed as severe injury to the occupants may occur in the event of an accident. Headrests may provide protection against neck injuries when properly adjusted.
-
Do not adjust the headrest position of the driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion.
When there is no occupant in the rear seats, adjust the height of the headrest to the lowest position. The rear seat headrest can reduce the visibility of the rear area.

Removal and re-installation
To remove the headrest:

To reinstall the headrest:

Make sure the headrest locks in position after adjusting it to properly protect the occupants.
After installing the headrest, make sure that it is installed in the right direction.
A headrest installed reversely could increase whiplash injury during rear impact.
Do not remove the 2nd row outboard headrest. It cannot be removed completely due to the cable installed for headrest auto folding function.
Outboard headrest (2nd row seat)
The headrest will fold down automatically when the seat is in the walk-in position. Always be sure the headrest has locked into position after you return the seatback.
Forward and backward adjustment (if equipped)
The headrest may be adjusted forward or backward by pulling the lower part of the headrest forward or backward to the desired detent in the direction of the arrow. Adjust the headrest so that it properly supports the head and neck.
Wing-out headrest (Relaxion seat)
For rear outboard passenger's comfort, the ends of the headrest can be adjusted inward.
