How to Properly Adjust Your Car’s Headrest

“I froze when I almost had a collision,” shared Tuan, a Thaco Forland truck driver transporting goods from Ha Dong to Son Tay. “I slammed on the brakes, and my body was thrown forward. Thankfully, I was wearing my seatbelt. But what worried me most was my head being jerked backward, hitting the headrest hard. That’s when I realized the importance of adjusting the car’s headrest.” So, how do you adjust a car headrest correctly? Let’s find out in this article.

Why Adjust Your Car’s Headrest?

The headrest might seem like a small detail, but it plays a crucial role in protecting the head and neck of car occupants, especially during a collision.

Functions of a Car Headrest:

• Reduces Head and Neck Injuries: In a collision, the body is thrown forward with significant force. The headrest helps support the head and minimize the impact on the neck, reducing the risk of whiplash and other cervical spine injuries.
• Provides Comfortable Support: Car headrests are designed to provide comfortable support for the head, helping drivers and passengers relax and avoid neck strain during long journeys.

• Note: Avoid positioning the headrest too low or too high relative to your head.

2. Adjust the Headrest Tilt (If Applicable)

Some modern vehicles allow for headrest tilt adjustment. Adjust the tilt until your head rests comfortably against the headrest.
