NOTE: If the vehicle has been in a collision, always
inspect the active head restraint, even if they appear
reusable, by doing the following procedure.1. Push the head restraint (A) forward fully from the locked position to release the inertial lock (B).
2. Slowly raise the head restraint into the normal position. 3. Fold the seat-back forward, then recline the seat-
back to the first lock position, and adjust the head
restraint to the highest position.
4. Apply masking tape on the top of the head restraint.
5. Make marks (A) on both sides at 250 mm (9.84 in.) upward from the roots of the head restraint frame
(B) along the back of the head restraint (C) surface.
Make a center of these points as a datum point (D).
6. Push the head restraint (A) forward, and measure the level amount of the head restraint movement.
The head restraint should move than 50 mm (2.0 in.)
without resistance. If it is less than 50 mm (0.2 in.),
or the head restraint does not move smoothly,
replace the seat frame assembly:
