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,

prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the “park” position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned off, and
the blades cannot return to the “park”
position, damage to the wiper motor may
occur.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use one of the four intermittent wiper set-
tings when weather conditions make a single
wiping cycle, with a variable delay between
cycles, desirable. At driving speeds above
10 mph (16 km/h), the delay can be regu-
lated from a maximum of approximately
18 seconds between cycles (first detent), to a
cycle every one second (fourth detent).
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph
(16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, push on the end of the
lever (toward the steering wheel) and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pushed
while in the intermittent setting, the wipers
will turn on and operate for several wipe
cycles after the end of the lever is released,
and then resume the intermittent interval
previously selected.
If the end of the lever is pushed while the
wipers are in the off position, the wipers will
operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
