Correct answer

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

The head restraint must support the head, not the neck: its centre should be roughly at eye level and its top level with the top of the head, 4 cm or less from it. At neck height, in a rear-end collision the head would tip backwards over it.
