cDo not attach anything to the head re-
straint stalks. Doing so could impair
active head restraint function.
The head restraint moves forward utilizing the
force that the seatback receives from the occu-
pant in a rear-end collision. The movement of the
head restraint helps support the occupant’s head
by reducing its backward movement and helping
absorb some of the forces that may lead to whip-
lash type injuries.
Active head restraints are effective for collisions
at low to medium speeds in which it is said that
whiplash injury occurs most.
Active head restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original positions.
Properly adjust the active head restraints as de-
scribed in this section.
HEAD RESTRAINT ADJUSTMENT
To raise the head restraint, pull it up. To lower,
push and hold the lock knob and push the head
restraint down.
To adjust the head restraint forward or backward
(Type B only) , push it in the direction required.
The front seats and 2nd row captain’s chairs
head restraints are removable. See “Head re-
straint storage” in the “Instrument and controls”
section. The 3rd row bench seat head restraints
are not removable.
WARNING
Head restraints should be adjusted prop-
erly as they may provide significant pro-
tection against injury in an accident. Do
not remove them. Check the adjustment
after someone else uses the seat.

cIf the head restraints are removed for
any reason, they should be securely

injury to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking or an
accident.

upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
cProperly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seatbacks.
In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.

CAPTAIN’S CHAIRS (if so equipped)
WARNING
cAttach LATCH system compatible child
restraints only at the locations shown.
For the LATCH lower anchor locations
see “LATCH (Latch Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) system”. If a child restraint
is not secured properly, your child could
be seriously injured or killed in an
accident.
cThe LATCH system anchors are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstance are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
cInspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area
and feeling to make sure there are no
obstructions over the LATCH system an-
chors, such as seat belt webbing or seat
cushion material. The child restraint will
not be secured properly if the LATCH
system anchors are obstructed.

er’s instructions.
3. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-
ments to the LATCH lower anchors.
