Buick Regal: Head Restraints

If equipped with base seats, the vehicle's front seats have adjustable head restraints in the outboard seating positions.

If equipped with GS Model seats, the vehicle's front seats have head restraints in the outboard seating positions that cannot be adjusted.

Warning: With head restraints that are not installed and adjusted properly, there is a greater chance that occupants will suffer a neck/ spinal injury in a crash. Do not drive until the head restraints for all occupants are installed and adjusted properly.

If equipped with base seats, adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint is at the same height as the top of the occupant's head. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.

Front Seats

If equipped, the vehicle's front seats have adjustable head restraints in the outboard seating positions.
