HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants 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 vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints (AHR) — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable components, and vehicles with this
equipment can not be readily identified by any markings, only through visual inspection
of the head restraint. The head restraint 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 the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.

press the push 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 backward. 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.
