Head Restraints; Supplemental Active Head Restraints - Front Seats - Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2018 Owner's Manual

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.
WARNING!
• All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle's
seat until the head restraints are placed in
their proper positions in order to minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash.
• Head restraints should never be adjusted
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.
Supplemental 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 re-
straint. 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 reduce the gap between the back of the
occupant's head and the AHR. This system is
design to reduce the risk of injury to the driver or
front passenger in certain types of rear impacts.
Refer to "Occupant Restraints" in "Safety" for
further information.
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.
Adjustment Button
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 re-
straint to move the head restraint away from
your head.
