Correct answer

  • AA la altura de los ojos.At eye level.
Explanation

The middle of the head restraint should be at eye level and as close to the head as possible. This way it holds the head in a rear-end collision and prevents whiplash; at neck level it does not protect you and can make the injury worse.
