2014 HONDA RIDGELINE height

The driver’s and f ront passenger’s
seats have active head restraints. If
the vehicle is struck severely f rom
the rear, the occupant properly
secured with the seat belt will be
pushed against the seat-back and the
head restraint will automatically
move forward.This reduces the distance between
the restraint and the occupant’s
head. It also helps protect the
occupants against the likelihood of
whiplash and injuries to the neck
and upper spine.
To remove a head restraint for
cleaning or repair, pull it up as far as
it will go. Push the release button,
then pull the restraint out of the
seat-back.
If the restraints do not return to their
normal position, or in the event of a
severe collision, have the vehicle
inspected by a Honda dealer. After a collision, the activated
restraint should return to its
normal position.
Make sure the head restraint locks
in position when you reinstall it. When reinstalling a head restraint,
put the legs back in place. Then
adjust it to the appropriate height
while pressing the release button.
