Correct answer

  • BA la altura de los ojos.At eye height.
Explanation

The head restraint is adjusted so that its central part is roughly at eye level, with its top edge between the eyes and the top of the head. At neck height it does not protect you: in a rear-end collision the head would rotate backwards over it.
