To perform its function effectively, the headrest must be positioned so that...

  1. it stops the head from moving backward as soon as possible in the event of an accident.
  2. its upper part is at shoulder height.
  3. it does not prevent the head from moving backward in the event of an accident.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: it stops the head from moving backward as soon as possible in the event of an accident.

Its purpose is to stop your head from moving backward as soon as possible. To do that, the top edge should be level with the top of your head, and the headrest should be as close to your head as possible, no more than 4 cm away. At shoulder height, it does not support your head.
