Buick Encore: Child Restraints / 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.

- Press both buttons on the head restraint
posts at the same time, and pull up on
the head restraint.
- Store the head restraint in a secure
place.
- 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 Rear Seats.
- Try to move the head restraint to make
sure it is locked in place.

in a crash if the child restraint is not
properly attached to the vehicle using
either the LATCH anchors or the vehicle
seat belt...
Warning
A crash can damage the LATCH system in
the vehicle. A damaged LATCH system
may not properly secure the child
restraint, resulting in serious injury or
