HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of
injury by restricting head movement in the event of a
rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that
the top of the head restraint is located above the top of
your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants
mus t

be properly adjusted prior to oper-
ating the vehicle or occupying a seat . Head re-
straints should never be adjusted while the ve-
hicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the event of a
collision.
Active Head Restraints (AHR) — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable compo-
nents, and vehicles with this equipment can not be
readily identified by any markings, only through visual
inspection of the head restraint. The head restraint will
be split in two halves, with the front half being soft
foam and trim, the back half being decorative plastic. When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the front half
of the head restraint extends forward to minimize the
gap between the back of the occupant’s head and the
AHR. This system is designed to help prevent or
reduce the extent of injuries to the driver and front
passenger in certain types of rear impacts. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Safety” for further informa-
tion.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head
restraint. To lower the head restraint, press the push
button, located at the base of the head restraint, and
push downward on the head restraint.

WARNING!
• Do not place items over the top of the
A ct

ive Head Restraint , such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players.These items
may interfere with the operation of the Active
Head Restraint in the event of a collision and
could result in serious injury or death.
• Active Head Restraints may be deployed if they
are struck by an object such as a hand, foot or
loose cargo. To avoid accidental deployment of
the Active Head Restraint ensure that all cargo is
secured, as loose cargo could contact the Active
Head Restraint during sudden stops. Failure to
follow this warning could cause personal injury if
the Active Head Restraint is deployed.
Head Restraints — Second Row Seats
The rear seats are equipped with adjustable head re-
straints. To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the
head restraint. To lower the head restraint, press the
adjustment button, located on the base of the head
restraint, and push downward on the head restraint.
(fig. 28)
NOTE:
• The head restraints should only be removed by qualified technicians, for service purposes only. If any
of the head restraints require removal, see your
authorized dealer.

WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the head re-
st r

aints removed or improperly adjusted
could cause serious injury or death in the event of
a collision.The head restraints should be checked
prior to operating the vehicle and never adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion.
THIRD ROW PASSENGER SEATS (Seven
Passenger Models)
These head restraints are non-adjustable and non-
removable. However, you can fold them forward when
they are not in use by passengers.
WARNING!

row s

eat without having the head re-
straint unfolded and locked in place. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal injury
to the passenger in the event of a collision. 60/40 SPLIT SECOND-ROW PASSENGER
SEATS
To provide additional storage area, each second-row
passenger seat can be folded flat. This allows for ex-
tended cargo space and still maintains some seating
room if needed.
NOTE:
Prior to folding the second-row passenger
seat, make sure the front seatback is not in a reclined
position. This will allow the second-row seat to fold
easily.
WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
carg o

area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
• On seven passenger models, do not allow a
passenger to sit in a third row seat with the
second row seatback(s) folded flat . In a collision,
the passenger could slide underneath the seat
belt and be seriously or even fatally injured.
