WARNING!
• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision
or hard stop could cause serious injury or death to
occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow re-
moved head restraints in a location outside the
occupant compartment.
• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the
vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow the
re-installation instructions above prior to operating
the vehicle or occupying a seat.
• Do not place items over the top of the Reactive Head
Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or portable DVD
players. These items may interfere with the opera-
tion of the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of a
collision and could result in serious injury or death.

Rear Head Restraint Adjustment

The rear seats are equipped with adjustable head restraints,
the outboard head restraints have two comfort positions,
while the central head restraint has to be used in the raised
position. When there are no occupants in the center seat,
the head restraint can be lowered for maximum visibility
for the driver. When the center seat is being occupied, the
head restraint has to be in the raised position.
