Safety features of your vehicle C010104AUN Headrest The headrest not only provides comfort for the driver and front passenger, but also helps to protect the head and neck in the event of a collision. WARNING • 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 top of the occupant's eyes. Also adjust the headrest so its distance from the head is as wide as your fist. 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 as severe injury to the occupants may occur in the event of an accident. Headrests may provide protection against neck injuries when properly adjusted. • Do not adjust the headrest height while the vehicle is in motion.
