Nissan Murano: Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system / Head restraints/headrests
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end collisions.
Adjustable head
restraints/headrests must be adjusted
properly, as specified in this section.
Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach anything
to the head restraint/headrest
stalks or remove the head
restraint/headrest. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint/headrest has been
removed. If the head restraint/headrest
was removed, reinstall and properly adjust
the head restraint/headrest before
an occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions can
reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head
restraints/headrests.

- Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be integrated,
adjustable or non-adjustable.
- Adjustable head restraints/headrests
have multiple notches along the stalk(s)
to lock them in a desired adjustment
position.
- Proper Adjustment:
- For the adjustable type, align the
head restraint/headrest so the center
of your ear is approximately level
with the center of the head
restraint/headrest.
- If your ear position is still higher than
the recommended alignment, place
the head restraint/headrest at the
highest position.
- If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled
and locked in place before riding in that
designated seating position.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats when
they are in the fold-downposition. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
without proper restraints are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed...
