To remove the head restraint, remove the seat belt from the
seat belt loop. Raise the head restraint as far as it can go.
Then, push the adjustment button and the release button at
the base of each post while pulling the head restraint up. To
reinstall the head restraint, put the head restraint posts into
the holes while pushing the adjustment button and release
button. Then, adjust it to the appropriate height.
NOTE:It may be necessary to recline the front seat before
removing the head restraint to provide enough clearance
from the roof.
WARNING!
• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision
or hard stop could cause serious injury or death to
occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow re-
moved head restraints in a location outside the
occupant compartment.
• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the
vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow the
re-installation instructions above prior to operating
the vehicle or occupying a seat.

WARNING! (Continued)
•Do not place items over the top of the Reactive Head
Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or portable DVD
players. These items may interfere with the opera-
tion of the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of a
collision and could result in serious injury or death.
Rear Head Restraints
The rear outboard head restraints are non-adjustable and
are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact.
Vehicles Without Passenger Seating Installed
All passenger occupants within the vehicle must be in a
seat equipped with a Seat Belt System and Head Restraint
for the safety of the passenger. If the passenger and/or rear
seats have been removed do not ride in those areas.
This vehicle has been designed to maximize total perfor-
mance. In doing so, the audio system, and deletion of
passenger seats and/or rear seat may affect the NVH
(Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) characteristics. As a
result, the interior (driver cockpit) Noise, Vibration, and
Harshness (NVH) will be louder overall. The standard
vehicle comes equipped with a two speaker audio system,
but there is an optional premium audio system available.
