SEAT ASSEMBLY


  1. FUNCTION


    1. Front Headrest


      1. The headrests have been brought forward compared to vehicles with active headrests and the side frames have been reinforced to control the amount the occupant's body sinks into the seatback, allowing for rapid support of the occupant's head, and achieving excellent safety in the event of a low-speed rear collision.
