Main Menu Table Of Contents Protecting Adults and Teens 4.Adjust the Head Restraints Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness, and you can be seriously injured in a crash. Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving. Properly adjusted head restraints will help protect occupants from whiplash and other crash injuries. See page 91 for how to adjust the head restraints. 5.Fasten and Position the Seat Belts Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the belt is securely latched. Check that the belt is not twisted, because a twisted belt can cause serious injuries in a crash. The center seating position in the second row and all third row seats have a detachable seat belt that can be unlatched and retracted into the ceiling to allow the seats to be folded down. See page 17 for how to unlatch and relatch a belt. Detachable seat belts should normally be latched whenever the seat-backs are in an upright position. See page 18 for how to unlatch a belt, and page 17 for how to relatch a belt. Driver and Passenger Safety Adjust the driver's head restraint so the center of the back of your head rests against the center of the restraint. Have passengers with adjustable head restraints adjust their restraints properly as well. Taller persons should adjust their restraint as high as possible. CONTINUED 15 2008 Pilot
