Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats
The front driver and passenger seats are
equipped with Reactive Head Restraints
(RHR). In the event of a rear impact, the
RHRs will automatically extend forward
minimizing the gap between the back of the

The RHRs will automatically return to their
normal position following a rear impact. If
the RHRs do not return to their normal posi-
tion, see your authorized dealer immediately.

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.
NOTE:
To remove the head restraint, raise it as far
as it can go. Then, push the release button
and the adjustment button at the base of
each post while pulling the head restraint up.
Seatback angle may need to be adjusted to
fully remove the head restraint. To reinstall
the head restraint, put the head restraint
posts into the holes and push downward.
Then adjust the head restraint to the appro-
priate height.
