4. Adjust the Head Restraints
Have passengers with adjustable
head restraints adjust their restraint
so the back of their head rests
against the center of the restraint.
Taller persons should adjust their
restraint as high as possible.
Improperly positioning head
restraints reduces their
effectiveness and you can be
seriously injured in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are
in place and positioned properly
before driving.
Properly adjusted head restraints
will help protect occupants from
whiplash and other crash injuries.
See page 72 for how to adjust the
head restraints.

5. Fasten and Position the Seat
Belts
Insert the latch plate into the buckle,
then tug on the belt to make sure the
belt is securely latched. Check that
the belt is not twisted, because a
twisted belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash.
