  3. It is not necessary because it is only a comfort feature.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because it is a safety feature that can prevent neck injuries.

Yes. Each occupant needs a different setting based on their height. When properly adjusted, the head restraint prevents neck injuries in a crash on any type of road. If someone tall sits down, raise it. In the image, the driver is adjusting hers.
