Headrest for front seat

The driver's and front passenger's seats are equipped with a headrest for safety and comfort.

OMV023167N

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 rear collision.

For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, 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 the top of their eyes.

Adjust the headrest as close to your head as possible. The use of a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not recommended.

WARNING

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. The driver may lose control of the vehicle.

CAUTION

Excessive pulling or pushing may damage the headrest.
