Rear Head Restraints
The rear outboard head restraints have three positions UP, MID and DOWN. The center
head restraint has only two positions, UP and DOWN. When the center seat is being
occupied the head restraint should be 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.
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.
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 needs to be folded forward 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 appropriate height.
• 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 removed 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 operation of the
Reactive Head Restraint in the event of a collision and could result in serious injury
or death.
