Head restraints

Almost two-thirds of collisions cause soft-tissue injuries (most commonly referred to as “whiplash”). These injuries cost you and everyone of our customers.

Good head restraint design and proper adjustment may prevent these injuries. But for your safety, make sure your head restraint is always adjusted properly. It will help stop your head and neck from bending backwards on impact, and cut down on the risk of injury.

How do I know if my head restraint is in the right position?

There are two ways to know:

• Is it high enough? It has to be at least level with the top of your ears and
• Is it close enough? It has to be less than 10 cm from the back of your head. Closer head restraints are twice as good at preventing injuries as those set too far back.

And make sure you adjust the head restraint— every time you get into your or any vehicle.
