- No, it is only a comfort feature.
- Yes, it is very important for preventing neck injuries.
- No, it is a decorative vehicle feature.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, it is very important for preventing neck injuries.
When properly adjusted, the head restraint limits sudden movement of the head relative to the torso. It therefore reduces the risk of whiplash neck injuries and is not merely a comfort feature.
