Head restraints
Correctly adjusted head restraint
A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the risk of neck injury in the event of an accident.
Adjust the head restraint in such a way that
its center is at approx. ear level. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury
in the event of an accident. Only remove a head restraint if no one will be sitting
on the seat in question. Reinstall the head restraint before transporting anyone
on that seat; otherwise, the passenger will be without protection from the head
restraint.
