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.
