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.
NOTE:
Do not reverse the head restraints (making the rear of the head restraint face forward)
in an attempt to gain additional clearance to the back of your head.
Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats
The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with Reactive Head Restraints
(RHR). In the event of a rear impact the RHRs will automatically extend forward
minimizing the gap between the back of the occupant’s head and the RHR.
The RHRs will automatically return to their normal position following a rear impact.
If the RHRs do not return to their normal position see your authorized dealer
immediately.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head
restraint, push the adjustment button, located at the base of the head restraint, and
push downward on the head restraint.
NOTE:
To remove the head restraint, raise it as far as it can go then push the release button
and the adjustment button at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint
up. Seatback angle may need to be adjusted to fully remove the head restraint. To
reinstall the head restraint, put the head restraint posts into the holes and push
downward. Then adjust the head restraint to the appropriate height.
