Correct answer

  • Bla mínima posible y nunca superior a 4 cm.as small as possible and never more than 4 cm.
Explanation

The head restraint should be as close as possible to the head, no more than about 4 cm away, with its top level with the top of the head. If it is further away, in a rear impact the head moves backwards and the risk of neck injury increases.
