Which passive-safety adjustment is specifically intended to reduce whiplash risk in a rear-end collision?

Correct answer

Correctly adjust the head restraint and seat.

Correctly adjust the head restraint and seat according to the manual, with the head close to the restraint and appropriate height. The head restraint is a safety device, not merely a comfort feature; some are fixed and cannot be adjusted. The belt must also be correctly positioned. No adjustment guarantees complete absence of injury or implies that a badly positioned belt cannot affect a crash outcome.
