 Adjusting the height of the head restraints (front seat)

Adjust the front head restraints so that the center of each head restraint is positioned as close as possible to the top of the occupant's ears. Correct positioning helps ensure that the head restraint is used as intended.

If the head restraint contacts the ceiling and cannot be removed easily, adjust the seat height or seatback angle to create sufficient clearance.
