HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting headmovement in the event of a rear im-
pact. Head restraints should be ad-
justed so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of
your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occu-
pants must be properly adjusted
prior to operating the vehicle or
occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a ve-
hicle with the head restraints im-
properly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front
Seats
The front driver and passenger seats
are equipped with Active Head Re-
straints (AHR). In the event of a rear
impact the AHRs will automatically
extend forward minimizing the gap
between the back of the occupants
head and the AHR. The AHRs will automatically return
to their normal position following a
rear impact. If the AHRs do not return
to their normal position see your au-
thorized dealer immediately.
To raise the head restraint, pull up-
ward on the head restraint. To lower
the head restraint, press the push but-
ton, located at the base of the head
restraint, and push downward on the
head restraint.
NOTE: The head restraints
should only be removed by quali-
fied technicians, for service pur-
poses only. If either of the head
restraints require removal, see
your authorized dealer.Controls Soft-Key
