WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Fold the seat-back forward, then recline the seat-back to the first lock position, and adjust the head restraint to the highest position.
- Apply masking tape on the top of the head restraint.
- Make marks (A) on both sides at 285 mm (11.2 in) upward from the roots of the head restraint frame (B) along the back of the head restraint (C) surface. Use the center point (D) between the two marks for the measurements in step 4.
- Push the head restraint (A) forward, and measure the horizontal head restraint movement. The head restraint should move more than 50 mm (2.0 in) without resistance. If it is less than 50 mm (2.0 in), or the head restraint does not move smoothly, replace the seat frame assembly (see FRONT SEAT-BACK COVER REPLACEMENT ).
