Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable components, and vehicles with this
equipment cannot be readily identified by any markings, only through visual inspection of
the head restraint. The Active Head Restraints (AHR) will be split in two halves, with the
front half being soft foam and trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the front half of the head restraint extends
forward to minimize the gap between the back of the occupant’s head and the AHR. This
system is designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of injuries to the driver and front
passenger in certain types of rear impacts. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.

push the adjustment button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push downward
on the head restraint.
For comfort the Active Head Restraints can be tilted forward and rearward. To tilt the head
restraint closer to the back of your head, pull forward on the bottom of the head restraint.
Push rearward on the bottom of the head restraint to move the head restraint away from
your head.
