GETTING STARTED
Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable components, and vehicles with this
equipment cannot be readily identified by any markings, only through visual
inspection of the head restraint. The Active Head Restraints (AHR) will be split in two
halves, with the front half being soft foam and trim, the back half being decorative
plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the front half of the head restraint extends
forward to minimize the gap between the back of the occupant's head and the AHR.
This system is designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of injuries to the driver
and front passenger in certain types of rear impacts. Refer to "Occupant Restraints"
in your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head
restraint, press the push button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push
downward on the head restraint.
For comfort the Active Head Restraints can be tilted forward and rearward. To tilt the
head restraint closer to the back of your head, pull forward on the bottom of the head
restraint. Push rearward on the bottom of the head restraint to move the head
restraint away from your head.
NOTE:
• The head restraints should only be removed by qualified technicians, for service
purposes only. If either of the head restraints require removal, see your authorized
dealer.
• In the event of deployment of an Active Head Restraint, refer to "Occupant
Restraints" in your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
• 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 accidental deployment of the Active Head
Restraint 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 deployed.
