Cevap

Ensure the rigid part of the head restraint is at least as high as your eyes or the top of your ears, and as close to the back of your head as comfortable.
According to the UK Highway Code and vehicle safety guidelines, a correctly adjusted head restraint significantly reduces the risk of whiplash and neck injuries. The rigid part of the restraint must be positioned at least as high as the driver's eyes or the top of the ears, and kept as close to the back of the head as is comfortable.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary safety purpose of an occupant head restraint.
Head restraints are designed to prevent hyperextension of the neck (whiplash) in the event of a collision, particularly from the rear.
Understanding the function clarifies the physical positioning required to support the head.
2
Apply official UK Highway Code guidelines on occupant seating adjustment.
The rigid part of the restraint should be adjusted so it is level with the top of the ears or eye line and positioned close to the back of the head.
This reduces the travel distance of the head before contact, spreading the deceleration forces safely.
