Head Restraints

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury

by restricting head movement in the event of a rear

impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top

of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

The head restraints for all occupants must be prop-

erly adjusted prior to operating the vehicle or occu-

pying a seat. Head restraints should never be ad-

justed while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a

vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted

or removed could cause serious injury or death in the

event of a collision.

Active Head Restraints — Front Seats

Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable compo-

nents, and vehicles with this equipment cannot be readily

identified by any markings, only through visual inspec-

tion of the head restraint. The head restraint will be split

in two halves, with the front half being soft foam and

trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
