Correct answer
The edge should be positioned between the top of the head and eye level.
Adjust the head restraint while stationary and according to the manufacturer’s manual. Its central supporting area should be at eye level, with its upper edge between eye level and the top of the head; aligning it with the top of the head and keeping it close is advisable. This helps reduce the risk of neck injury without guaranteeing freedom from injury. Adjustment controls vary between vehicles: not all have a rear knob or lever. Do not choose height solely for comfort.
