When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the front half of the head restraint extends
forward to minimize the gap between the back of the occupant's head and the AHR. This
system is designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of injuries to the driver and front
passenger in certain types of rear impacts. Refer to "Occupant Restraints" in "Things To
Know Before Starting" in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
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.
For comfort, the Active Head Restraints can be tilted forward and backward. To tilt the
head restraint closer to the back of your head, pull forward on the bottom of the head
restraint. Push rearward on the bottom of the head restraint to move the head restraint
away from your head.
NOTE:
• The head restraints should only be removed by qualified technicians, for service
purposes only. If either of the head restraints require removal, see your authorized
dealer.
• In the event of deployment of an Active Head Restraint, refer to "Occupant Restraints/
Supplemental Active Head Restraints (AHR)/Resetting Active Head Restraints (AHR)"
in "Things To Know Before Starting" in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further
information.
• All occupants, including the driver, should not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle's
seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision.
• Do not place items over the top of the Active Head Restraint, such as coats, seat
covers or portable DVD players. These items may interfere with the operation of the
Active Head Restraint in the event of a collision and could result in serious injury or
death.
• Active Head Restraints may be deployed if they are struck by an object such as a
hand, foot or loose cargo. To avoid accidental deployment of the Active Head
Restraint ensure that all cargo is secured, as loose cargo could contact the Active
Head Restraint during sudden stops. Failure to follow this warning could cause
personal injury if the Active Head Restraint is deployed.
