Which passive safety component must be adjusted correctly to help reduce whiplash in a rear-end collision?

Correct answer

The head restraint.

The head restraint. Correct adjustment limits movement of the head relative to the torso and helps reduce neck-injury risk. It is not merely a comfort feature and cannot guarantee prevention of every injury. Adjust it according to the vehicle instructions, together with correct seat positioning and belt use.
