Many drivers make simple mistakes with headrests. Common problems include placing the headrest too low, leaving too much space between the head and the cushion, not locking the rods properly after adjustment, or reinstalling the headrest incorrectly after removing it. These small errors can greatly reduce protection.
Correct adjustment takes only a few seconds. Sit upright with your back against the seat. Raise the headrest so its top reaches the top of your head. Keep the back of your head about 2–4 cm from the cushion and make sure the rods are firmly locked.
These small metal rods show how modern car safety is designed to protect people quietly, even in the smallest details.
