WARNING!
• 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.
WARNING! (Continued)
• 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 acci-
dental deployment of the Active Head Re-
straint 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 de-
ployed.
NOTE:
For more information on properly adjusting
and positioning the head restraint, refer to
"Supplemental Active Head Restraints —
Front Seats" in "Getting To Know Your Ve-
hicle."

Resetting Active Head Restraints (AHR)
If the Active Head Restraints are triggered dur-
ing a collision, the front half of the head restraint
will be extended forward and separated from the
rear half of the head restraint (See Image). Do
not drive your vehicle after the AHRs have
deployed. The head restraint must be reset into
the original position to best protect the occupant
for all types of collisions. An authorized FCA US
LLC dealer must reset the AHRs on the driver's
and front passenger's seat before driving. Per-
sonally attempting to reset the AHRs may result
in damage to the AHRs that could impair their
function.
WARNING!
Deployed AHRs are not able to best protect
you in all types of collisions. Have deployed
AHRs reset by an authorized dealer immedi-
ately.
