VC-012 — Adjusting the Head Restraint
Question
How should a head restraint (headrest) be positioned?
A. As low as possible for comfort B. Removed when not needed C. With its top roughly level with the top of your head
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The head restraint should have its top roughly level with the top of your head to limit rearward head movement and reduce whiplash in a rear-end crash. Set too low or removed, it offers little protection.
