Unlike your headrest, the effectiveness of your seatbelt is what you should be worrying about. Don't mess with it.
yes
Wear your seat belt, and adjust the headrest to the proper position. Not much else you can do.
Forgive me if you have tried this already , but have you moved the seat all the way back ?
Lift up the headrest to the highest position. The metal shafts have plastic rings that are part of the seat. Unscrew the rings counter clockwise around both shafts of the headrest and then pull headrest off.
Set the set to the desired position, also side mirrors & seat belt/headrest, then press memory button. Press driver 1 button (or driver 2, if it's for second driver)
Use the controls on the side of the seat that you would use to adjust your seating position. The button that you would use to adjust the reclining angle on your seat is also the button that will adjust your headrest. Simply slide the button down and the headrest will lower.
Press into the fabric of the seat, immediately in front of the base of the headrest. This will release the catch, and the headrest can be adjusted up or down, or removed entirely from the seat.
Using the seat back tilt lever lower the seat back as far as it will go. Sit in the back seat. Place your arm around the head rest and pull hard. The headrest can only be removed in this position. Works for driver and passenger front seats.
What do you mean by the "closed position"?
To remove the headrest on a 1994 Plymouth Voyager Van, push the headrest all the way down. Then gently push the headrest back and pull straight up. Some seat models also have a lever on the side of the seat to depress to remove the headrest.
Pull the seat forward as if you were folding the seat down. The headrest will unlock and pull down (same procedure to get the headreast up).
1. With all doors closed and the ignition switch in any position except On or Start, buckle the driver's seat belt. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off. 3. Within 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the ON position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver's seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. NOTE: Watch for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn on while unbuckling and off while re-buckling the seat belt. It may be necessary to retract the seat belt. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the programming.
