Why are car headrests equipped with metal rods? — A safety feature often overlooked by drivers

How to properly adjust your headrest in 30 seconds

  1. Sit up straight with your back against the backrest.
  2. Adjust the height: the top of the headrest should reach the level of the top of your head.
  3. Check the distance: the back of your head should ideally be between 2 and 4 cm from the cushion.
  4. Make sure the rods are properly inserted and locked.

Remember to check this setting after moving your seat forward or backward: a change of position can alter the alignment.

Security designed down to the smallest detail

These metal rods illustrate the logic of modern automotive design: protect effectively, without attracting attention.

Like seat belts or driver assistance systems, they perform their function silently. Invisible, but essential.

The next time you get behind the wheel, take a few seconds to adjust your headrest: these two small metal rods could well be your most discreet allies on the road.
