WARNING:
To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in or operate the vehicle, until the head restraint is placed in its proper position. The driver should never adjust the head restraint while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING:
The adjustable head restraint is a safety device.
Whenever possible it should be installed and properly adjusted when the seat is occupied.
WARNING:
Install the head restraint properly to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.

For occupants of extremely tall stature, adjust the head restraint to its full up position.

1. Adjust the seatback to an upright driving or riding position.
2. Tilt the head restraint forward by gently pulling the top of the head restraint.
Once it is in its forward-most position, tilt it forward once more to release it to the upright position.
