Alberta Class 7 Practice

Adjust your head restraint Use your head restraint correctly. Head restraints in the proper position greatly reduce the risk of injuries due to collisions and sudden vehicle movements. • If your vehicle has an adjustable head restraint, it should be positioned so that the centre of the head restraint is level with the top of your ears. • If your head restraint tilts, move it forward to decrease the space between your head and the restraint. Less than 10 centimetres (four inches) is ideal. • Always check that the head restraint for each passenger is adjusted to the correct height. Correct Too low A properly adjusted head restraint protects the head and neck.
