Correct Head Restraint Position


Adjusting the Head Restraints


Correct Head Restraint Position

Your vehicle is equipped with a head restraint for each seating position





Warning: Second-row center seat occupants must adjust the headrest to the proper position (see the diagram and description of proper alignment below) before operating the vehicle or sitting in the vehicles’ seats. In the event of a crash, improper positioning can result in serious injury, paralysis, or death.

In addition to seat belts, head restraints are an important safety feature that, when used properly, can reduce the risk of personal injury (such as whiplash) in a collision. If the head restraints are not correctly adjusted, the risk of injury increases.



  • Adjust the head restraint so the height of the restraint is at the top of the occupant's head. Doing so will place the thickest portion of the restraint behind the person's head at ear level.
    Note: First row, second-row outboard, and third-row head restraints are not vertically adjustable.
  • Adjust the head restraint so the distance of the restraint is as close as possible to the back of the head.

Adjusting the Head Restraints

First-Row Head Restraints

The driver and front passenger seats have integrated head restraints, which can be adjusted horizontally by grasping the sides and pulling gently.

Note: The drive and front passenger seat head restraints cannot be adjusted vertically or removed.


The head restraint can be pulled out from its retracted position to one of three extended positions. Pulling beyond the last position will return the headrest to its fully retracted position.

Second-Row Head Restraints

The second-row center seat head restraint can be adjusted vertically and removed.
Note: The second-row outboard seat head restraints are not adjustable, only removable.


To adjust the head restraint of the second-row center seat, press the button on the side of the base and then raise and lower the headrest. For an occupied second-row center seat, adjust the headrest upward to at least the first locked position. Make sure the headrest is in a locked position during height adjustment.
Warning: A second-row center seat head restraint set to its lowest position is intended to provide maximum visibility when that seat is unoccupied. When the second-row center seat is occupied, the lowest headrest position may not provide adequate head and neck support in the event of a collision and should be adjusted accordingly to fit the seat occupant.
All three of the second-row head restraints can be removed by pressing the button at the base of the head restraint and then pulling up until the head restraint completely slides out.
Warning: The absence of a properly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of serious injury or fatality in the event of a collision.
Warning: Remove the head restraint from the vehicle seat when installing a child safety seat (with the exception of booster seats) to ensure that the upper tether strap securely holds the child safety seat in place.
To reinstall a second-row head restraint, position the head restraint bars into the head restraint locating holes and push the head restraint down until a positive lock occurs. To further lower the center seat head restraint, push the button on the base of the head restraint and push the restraint down to the desired position.
Warning: Any head restraint that has been removed must be reinstalled to properly protect vehicle occupants.

Third-Row Head Restraints

The third-row head restraints cannot be adjusted or removed. When the third-row seats are unoccupied, the head restraints can be folded down for maximum visibility.

The third-row head restraints can be folded manually or via the Pilot Panel.



To manually fold the head restraints, pull the strap on the back of the third-row seat until the head restraint folds down. To fold the head restraints using the Pilot Panel, tap the Head Restraints button in Quick Controls.
Note: The Head Restraint button in Quick Controls is disabled when both third-row seats are occupied or stowed. If only one of the third-row seats is occupied or stowed, only the unoccupied seat head restraint will fold when the Head Restraint button is selected.
To unfold a third-row head restraint and return it to its upright position, manually lift the restraint until it clicks into place.
Warning: When a third-row seat is occupied, the head restraint must be in the unfolded, upright position. Third-row head restraints in the folded position will not provide adequate head and neck support in a collision, increasing the risk of serious injury or fatality.
