Front-seat Active Head Restraints

The Active Head Restraint moves forward utiliz-

ing the force that the seatback receives from the

occupant in a rear-end collision. The movement

of the head restraint helps support the occu-

pant’s head by reducing its backward movement

and helping absorb some of the forces that may

lead to whiplash-type injuries.

Active Head Restraints are effective for collisions

at low to medium speeds in which it is said that

whiplash injury occurs most.

Active Head Restraints operate only in certain

rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head

restraints return to their original position.

Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as

described in this section.

ADJUSTABLE HEADREST (if so

equipped)

WARNING

The adjustable headrests supplement the

other vehicle safety systems. They may

provide additional protection against in-

jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust

the headrests properly, as specified in this

section. Check the adjustment after

someone else uses the seat. Do not attach

anything to the adjustable headrest stalks

or remove the adjustable headrests. Do

not use the seat if the adjustable head-

rests have been removed. If the headrest

was removed, reinstall and properly adjust

the headrest before an occupant uses the

seating position. Failure to follow these

instructions can reduce the effectiveness

of the adjustable headrests. This may in-

crease the risk of serious injury or death in

a collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions

equipped with adjustable headrests. All of the

headrests are adjustable.

䡲 Indicates the seating position is equipped with

an adjustable headrest.

+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped

with a head restraint or adjustable headrest.
