Kia Rio: Seat / Headrest (for front seat)

Kia Rio 2017-2024 YB Owners Manual / Safety features of your vehicle / Seat / Headrest (for front seat)

The driver's and front passenger's seats are equipped with a headrest for the occupant's safety and comfort.

The headrest not only provides comfort for the driver and front passenger, but also helps protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.

For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest should be adjusted so the middle of the headrest is at the same height of the center of gravity of an occupant's head. Generally, the center of gravity of most people's head is similar with the height of the top of their eyes. Also, adjust the headrest as close to your head as possible.

For this reason, the use of a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not recommended.

WARNING - Headrest removal/adjustment

Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed. Headrests can provide critical neck and head support in a crash.
Do not adjust the headrest height while the vehicle is in motion. Driver may lose control of the vehicle.
