To install the head restraint:
1.Put the legs back in place, then slightly
lower it.
u Do not push it down fully until it locks in
place.
2. Insert the strap onto th e band, then hook it
to the magnet on the outside edge of the
seat-back.
3. Push the head restraint down until it locks.
Make sure the head restraint locks in place
when you reinstall it.
After all occupants have adjusted their seats, and put on their seat belts, it is very
important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their seats, with their feet
on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the engine is off.
Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns si deways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.
In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the seat can be seriously or fatally
injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an
inflating front airbag.

The driver’s and passenger’s seats have active
head restraints. In a rear impact, an occupant
properly secured by a seat belt will be pushed
against the seat-back and the head restraint
will move forward. This reduces the distance
between the restraint and the occupant’s
head, which helps reduce the likelihood of
whiplash and injuries to the neck and upper
spine.
■Active Head Restraints1 Active Head Restraints
In order for the active head restraints to operate
properly:
•Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or
from the restraint legs.
•Do not place any objects between an occupant and
the seat-back.
•Install each restraint in its proper location.
After collision, the activated restraint should return to
its normal position. If the restraint does not return to
its normal position, or in the event of a severe
collision, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.
