Adjusting a Rear Head Restraint
Adjusting a Rear Head Restraint
WARNING: Do not position a rear head restraint to its lowest position for an occupied rear seat. The lowest rear head restraint position is a storage position to provide maximum visibility out of the rear window.
Press the button at the base of the head restraint and move the restraint upward to at least the first locked position when the seat is occupied. Pull and push on the head restraint after the button is released to ensure it is locked in place.
Removing a Rear Head Restraint
WARNING: If a passenger’s head protrudes above the top of the seat back, do not drive or carry passengers with the head restraints removed from the occupied rear seats. The absence of a correctly-adjusted head restraint increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.
WARNING: The head restraint must be removed from the vehicle seat when installing a child safety seat (except backless booster seats) to ensure that the upper tether strap securely holds the child safety seat in place.
To remove a head restraint, press the button at the base of the head restraint, then pull up until the head restraint slides out completely.
Reinstalling a Rear Head Restraint
WARNING: Any head restraint that has been removed from a seat must be reinstalled in order to properly protect the occupant of that seat.
To reinstall a head restraint, insert the two head restraint bars into the head restraint locating holes. Push the button on the side of a locating hole, then push the head restraint down until it locks. Adjust the head restraint height as needed for an occupant.
