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.
Warning
A child could be seriously injured or killed
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
even death in a crash...
Other information:
Your satisfaction and goodwill are important
to your dealer and to Buick. Normally, any
concerns with the sales transaction or the
operation of the vehicle will be resolved by
your dealer's sales or service departments.
Sometimes, however, despite the best
intentions of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur...
Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle
traction and affect your ability to stop and
accelerate. Always drive slower in these
types of driving conditions and avoid driving
through large puddles and deep-standing or
flowing water.
Warning
Wet brakes can cause crashes...
