Adjust the head restraints so the center is level
with the center of your ears.
WARNINGHead restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide significant
protection against injury in an accident.
Do not remove them. Check the adjust-
ment after someone else uses the seat. ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (front
seats)
WARNING O Always adjust the head restraints
properly as specified in the previous
section. Failure to do so can reduce
the effectiveness of the active head
restraint. O Active head restraints are designed
to supplement other safety systems.
Always wear seat belts. No system
can prevent all injuries in any acci-
dent.
O Do not attach anything to the head
restraint stalks. Doing so could im-
pair active head restraint function.
The head restraint moves forward utilizing the
force that the seatback receives from the oc-
cupant in a rear-end collision. The movement
of the head restraint helps support the occu-
pant's head by reducing its backward move-
ment and helping absorb some of the forces
that may lead to whiplash type injuries.
Active head restraints are effective for colli-
sions 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
described in the previous section.SSS0178 SPA1025
