172. Reposacabezas
Los reposacabezas son dispositivos de seguridad diseñados para limitar el movimiento hacia atrás de la cabeza de un ocupante respecto al cuerpo durante una colisión. Ayudan a reducir el riesgo de lesiones en el cuello y la columna cervical, especialmente en impactos traseros.
Un reposacabezas ajustable debe colocarse de modo que apoye la parte posterior de la cabeza, no el cuello, y tan cerca de la cabeza como resulte práctico. Conductores y pasajeros deben ajustarlo a su tamaño corporal antes de viajar.
What is the purpose of a head restraint in a Belgian vehicle?
Its purpose is to limit excessive rearward movement of the occupant's head during a collision and thereby reduce the risk of injury to the neck and cervical spine.
Should you adjust the head restraint before driving in Belgium?
Yes. Where the head restraint is adjustable, it should be positioned correctly for the occupant. As part of the practical driving examination, candidates may be asked to demonstrate that the head restraint is correctly positioned so that it supports the head when it moves slightly backwards.
Can fitted head restraints simply be removed from a vehicle?
No. Head restraints that form part of the vehicle's approved safety equipment should remain installed. Removing safety equipment can affect the vehicle's compliance and reduce occupant protection.
