You may have a customer with a concern that the head restraint is uncomfortable or sits too far forward. The front driver and passenger seats are

equipped with head restraints that have been designed to help minimize injuries while still providing comfort to the occupants. Each GM vehicle

has its own specifically designed head restraint.

The following are some options that may be helpful for the customer to balance their overall seat comfort while seats are in use:

- Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint is at the same height as the top of the occupants head.

- Try angling the seat back and move the seat a little forward to make the headrest angle less severe.

The head restraints should only be used in the vehicle for which they were designed. The head restraint will not operate to its design intent if the

original foam is replaced (1) by non-GM foam or head restraint, (2) by GM foam or head restraint designed for a different vehicle, (3) by GM foam

or head restraint that has been altered by a trim shop or (4) if any object, such as an aftermarket comfort enhancing pad or device, is installed.

Never modify the design of the head restraint or remove the head restraint from the vehicle as this may interfere with the operation of the seating

and restraint systems and may prevent proper positioning of the passenger within the vehicle.
