CAUTION

When installing a head restraint, make

sure that it is installed correctly with the

front of the head restraint facing

forward. If the head restraint is installed

incorrectly, it could detach from the seat

during a collision and result in injury.

The head restraints on each of the front

and rear seats are specialized to each

seat. Do not switch around the head

restraint positions. If a head restraint is

not installed to its correct seat position,

the eﬀectiveness of the head restraint

during a collision will be compromised

which could cause injury.

while pressing the stop-catch.

To install the head restraint, insert the legs

into the holes while pressing the

stop-catch.

WARNING

Always drive with the head restraints

installed when seats are being used and

make sure they are properly installed:

Driving with the head restraints not

installed is dangerous. With no support

behind your head, your neck could be

seriously injured in a collision.

After installing a head restraint, try lifting it

to make sure that it does not pull out:

Driving with an unsecured head restraint is

dangerous as the eﬀectiveness of the head

restraint will be compromised which could

cause it to unexpectedly detach from the

seat.
