4.Adjust the Head Restraints  
Reclining the seat-back too far  
can result in serious injury or  
death in a crash.  
Improperly positioning head  
restraints reduces their  
effectiveness and you can be  
seriously injured in a crash.  
Adjust the seat-back to an  
upright position, and sit well  
back in the seat.  
Make sure head restraints are  
in place and positioned properly  
before driving.  
Reclining a seat-back so that the  
shoulder part of the belt no longer  
rests against the occupant’s chest  
reduces the protective capability of  
the belt. It also increases the chance  
of sliding under the belt in a crash  
and being seriously injured. The  
farther a seat-back is reclined, the  
greater the risk of injury.  
Properly adjusted head restraints  
will help protect occupants from  
whiplash and other crash injuries.  
Adjust the driver’s head restraint so  
the center of the back of your head  
rests against the center of the  
restraint.  
See page 101 for how to adjust the  
head restraints and how the driver’s  
and front passenger’s active head  
restraints work.  
Have passengers adjust their head  
restraints properly as well. Taller  
persons should adjust their restraint  
as high as possible.  
See page 98 for how to adjust the  
manual adjustable seat-back, and  
page 97 for the power adjustable  
seat-back.
