Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can re\
sult in
severe injury during a crash.
Always replace the head restraints before driving.
WARNING
Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in both seating positions; \
however,
they are non-adjustable. Head restraints are most effective for protecti\
on against
whiplash and other rear-impact crash injuries. Head restraints can be removed for
cleaning or repair.
The driver’s and passenger’s seats have active head
restraints. In a rear impact, an occupant properly
secured by a seat belt will be pushed against the
seat-back and the head restraint will move forward.
This reduces the distance between the restraint
and the occupant’s head, which helps reduce the
likelihood of whiplash and injuries to the neck and
upper spine.
To remove a head restraint
1.

Unhook the strap on the outside edge of the
seat-back.
2.


Pull out the strap throughout the band on the
outside under edge of the head restraint.
3.


Push the release button, and pull the head
restraint upward.
T

o resintall a head restraint
1.

Put the legs back in place, then slightly lower it.
Do not push it down fully until it locks in place.
2.


Insert the strap onto the band, then hook it to the
magnet on the outside edge of the seat-back.
3.


Push the head restraint down until it locks. Make
sure the head restraint locks in place when you
reinstall it.
In order for the head restraint system to work properly:
•


Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs\
.
•


Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
•


Install each restraint in its proper location.

You can also pull up on the release lever on the
driver’s side of the seat-back to tilt the seat-back
forward.
Folding down the separator creates more cargo
area:
