Correct answer

  • ALa parte central del reposacabezas a la altura de los ojos.With the centre of the head restraint at eye level.
Explanation

The head restraint reduces the chance of injuring the neck vertebrae, so it is very important to adjust it correctly. Its top should be at head height, its centre at eye level, and the gap between the head restraint and the head should never be more than 4 centimetres.
