Head Restraints | Chevrolet 2008 instruction

Head Restraints

Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving.

Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint is at the same height as the top of the occupant’s head. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in

a crash.
