Resetting activated head restraints
If the active head restraint have been trig-
gered in an accident, the head restraints
must be reset. Otherwise, active head re-
straint cannot offer any additional protec-
tion in the event of another rear-end
collision.
You can tell that the head restraints have
been activated when they have been
moved forward and cannot be adjusted.
