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!
• All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints
are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
WARNING!
• Head restraints should never be ad-
justed while the vehicle 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.
Supplemental Active Head Restraints —
Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deploy-
able components, and vehicles with this
equipment cannot be readily identified by
any markings, only through visual inspection
of the head restraint. The Active Head Re-
straints (AHR) 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 for-
ward to reduce the gap between the back of
the occupant’s head and the AHR. This sys-
tem is design to reduce the risk of injury tothe driver or front passenger in certain types
of rear impacts. Refer to “Occupant Re-
straints” in “Safety” for further information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on
the head restraint. To lower the head re-
straint, push the adjustment button, located
at the base of the head restraint, and push
downward on the head restraint.
For comfort, the Active Head Restraints can
be tilted forward and rearward. To tilt the
head restraint closer to the back of your head,

NOTE:
• The head restraints should only be removed
by qualified technicians, for service pur-
poses only. If either of the head restraints
require removal, see an authorized dealer.
• In the event of deployment of an Active
Head Restraint, refer to “Occupant
Restraints/Resetting Active Head Re-
straints (AHR)” in “Safety” for further
information.WARNING!
• ALL the head restraints MUST be rein-
stalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants.
• All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints
are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a collision.
• Do not place items over the top of the
Active Head Restraint, such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players.
These items may interfere with the op-
eration 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 acci-
dental deployment of the Active Head
Restraint ensure that all cargo is se-
cured, as loose cargo could contact the
Active Head Restraint during sudden
stops. Failure to follow this warning
