Show answer

Correct answer

  • CA la altura de la cabeza.At head height.
Explanation

The head restraint should be at head height: its top level with the top of the head, or its centre at eye level, and as close to the head as possible. At neck height, in a rear-end collision it acts as a lever and makes the injury worse.
