The vehicle’s front and rear seats have adjustable head restraints. The head
restraints provide comfort for passengers, but more importantly they are designed
to help protect passengers from whiplash and other neck and spinal injuries during
an accident, especially in a rear impact collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head restraints:
Always properly adjust the head restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with the head restraints removed or reversed.
