Rear seat headrest

The rear seats are equipped with headrests for the left and right seating positions and the centre seating position (if equipped) for the occupant’s safety and comfort.

OAYIEV066022R

The headrest not only provides comfort for passengers, but also helps protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.

To maximize effectiveness in case of accidents, the headrest should be adjusted so the middle of the headrest is level with the centre of gravity of an occupant’s head. Generally, the centre of gravity of most people’s heads is at the same height as the top of their eyes.

Adjust the headrest as close to your head as possible. For this reason, we do not recommend using a cushion that holds your body away from the seatback.

Adjusting the height up and down: (if equipped)

OAYI066027L

To raise the headrest, pull it up to the desired position. To lower the headrest, push and hold the release button (1) on the headrest support and lower the headrest to the desired position.

Removal and reinstallation: (if equipped)

OAYI066027L

To remove the headrest, raise it as far as it can go then press the release button (1) whilst pulling the headrest up.

To reinstall the headrest, put the headrest poles into the holes whilst pressing the release button (1). Then adjust the headrest to the appropriate height.

WARNING

To properly protect the occupants, make sure the headrest locks in position after adjusting it.

  • 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 centre of gravity of an occupant’s head. Generally, the centre of gravity of most people’s head is similar to 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 whilst the vehicle is in motion.

  • Make sure the headrest locks into position after adjusting it to properly protect the occupants.

  • NEVER allow anyone to ride in a seat with the headrests removed.

  • Always make sure the headrest locks into position after reinstalling and adjusting it properly.
