How should the headrest be positioned?
Active and passive safety
The headrest should be positioned at the height of the head to minimize the risk of serious injuries, such as whiplash, in the event of an impact.
Explanation
The **headrest** is a passive safety device that protects the neck and cervical spine in the event of a sudden impact. To function correctly, it is essential to position it **at the height of the passengers' heads**, both in the front and rear seats. The top of the headrest should be aligned with the top of the head. This helps minimize the risk of neck injuries during an accident.
Positioning the headrest at neck height or as high as possible does not provide adequate protection and may increase the risk of injury in the event of an impact. Therefore, always ensure to adjust the headrest correctly to maximize safety.
