Correct answer
- BA la altura de los ojos.At eye level.
The head restraint must be set at the occupant's eye level to give proper protection in a collision. This is because a correctly positioned head restraint limits the backward movement of the head, reducing the risk of neck injuries, especially whiplash. This requirement is supported by the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), which stress the importance of occupant safety and the correct setting of restraint elements.
