Nissan Qashqai Qashqai 2022-2024 HEAD RESTRAINTS Car Owner Manuals

Head Restraints

Head restraints supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in certain rear-end collisions. Adjust the head restraints properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat.

Do not attach anything to the head restraint stalks or remove the head restraint. Do not use the seat if the head restraint has been removed. If the head restraint was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint before an occupant uses the seating position. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraints. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

General Information

• Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints. On the front seats they are adjustable. On the rear seats they are non-adjustable but have a lower storage position.
• Adjustable head restraints have multiple notches along the stalk to lock them in a desired adjustment position.
• The non-adjustable head restraints have a single locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.

Proper Adjustment

• For the adjustable type, align the head restraint so the centre of your ear is approximately level with the centre of the head restraint.
• If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the head restraint at the highest position.
• For the non-adjustable type, raise into locking position before use. The seat should not be occupied with the head restraint in the lower storage position.
• If the head restraint has been removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in place before riding in that designated seating position.

Remove

Use the following procedure to remove the head restraint:

2. Push and hold the lock knob.
3. Remove the head restraint from the seat.
4. Store the head restraint properly in a secure place so it is not loose in the vehicle.

Reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint before an occupant uses the seating position.

Install

1. Align the head restraint stalks with the holes in the seat. Make sure that the head restraint is facing the correct direction. The stalk with the adjustment notch must be installed in the hole with the lock knob.
2. Push and hold the lock knob and push the head restraint down.
3. Properly adjust the head restraint before an occupant uses the seating position.

Adjust

For adjustable front head restraint:

Adjust the head restraint so the centre is level with the centre of your ears. If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the head restraint at the highest position.

For non-adjustable head restraint:

Make sure the head restraint is positioned so the lock knob is engaged in the notch before riding in that designated seating position.
