Headrest (for rear seat) (if equipped)
The headrest not only provides comfort for passengers, but also helps protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.
-
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 with 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. Severe injury to an occupant may occur in the event of an accident. Headrests may provide protection against severe neck injuries when properly adjusted.
-
When there is no occupant in the rear seats, adjust the height of the headrest to the lowest position. The rear seat headrest can reduce the visibility of the rear area.
Adjusting the height up and down (if equipped)
-
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the desired position (1).
-
To lower the headrest, push and hold the release button (2) on the headrest support and lower the headrest to the desired position (3).
Removal and installation (if equipped)
-
To remove the headrest, raise it as far as it can go then press the release button (1) whilst pulling the headrest up (2).
-
To reinstall the headrest, put the headrest poles (3) into the holes whilst pressing the release button (1).
-
Then adjust it to the appropriate height.
Make sure the headrest locks in position after adjusting it to properly protect the occupants.
