Chevrolet Spark Owners Manual: Head Restraint Removal and Reinstallation
The rear outboard head restraints can be removed if they interfere with the proper installation of the child restraint.
To remove the head restraint:
- Partially fold the seatback forward. See Rear Seats on page 3-8 for additional information.
- Press both buttons on the head restraint posts at the same time, and pull up on the head restraint.
- Store the head restraint in the cargo area of the vehicle inside the cargo net.
- When the child restraint is removed, reinstall the head restraint before the seating position is used.
Warning
With head restraints that are not installed and adjusted properly, there is a greater chance that occupants will suffer a neck/ spinal injury in a crash. Do not drive until the head restraints for all occupants are installed and adjusted properly.
To reinstall the head restraint:
- Insert the head restraint posts into the holes in the top of the seatback. The notches on the posts must face the driver side of the vehicle.
- Push the head restraint down.
If necessary, press the height adjustment release button to further lower the head restraint.
See Head Restraints on page 3-2.
- Try to move the head restraint to make sure that it is locked in place.
