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 
	the vehicle is moving...
