Hyundai Elantra: Seats / Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and spinal
injuries during an accident, especially in
a rear impact collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:
- Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
- NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraints removed or
reversed.
- Adjust the head restraints so the
middle of the head restraint is at the
same height as the height of the top
of the eyes.
- NEVER adjust the head restraint
position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.
- Adjust the head restraint as close to
the passenger’s head as possible. Do
not use a seat cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback.
- Make sure the head restraint locks
into position after adjusting it.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull
on the head restraints.
CAUTION
When there are no occupants in the
rear seats, adjust the height of the head
restraint to the lowest position. The
rear seat head restraint can reduce the
visibility of the rear area.
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never allow passengers to sit on top
of the folded down seatback while
