Explanation

The head restraint is an important passive safety element that can significantly reduce the chance of neck injuries. Adjusting it properly is vital, in both the front and the rear seats: - The top edge of the head restraint should be between the top of the head and eye level. - There should be no gap between the driver's head and the head restraint, or it should be as small as possible, never more than 4 cm.
