Abstract

A vehicle interior system of a vehicle includes first and second seating assemblies and a roof positioned vehicle-upward of the first and second seating assemblies. A first head restraint of the first seating assembly is pivotably coupled to the roof and operable to pivot relative to the roof about a first pivot axis between a stowed position and a use position vehicle-downward of the stowed position. A second head restraint of the second seating assembly is coupled to the roof and operable to pivot relative to the roof about a second pivot axis between a stowed position and a use position vehicle-downward of the stowed position. The first pivot axis is not parallel to the second pivot axis.
