The resulting body pressure on the seat backrest activates the active head restraint* on the front seat, which moves rapidly forwards and upwards at the same time. This movement reduces the distance between the occu- pant's head and the head restraint, thus reducing the risk of head injuries such as brain trauma.
  • Page 17 Note The active head restraints* could also be triggered if a vehicle occupant ap- plies a high level of pressure to the seat backrest (e.g. by “falling” back into Fig. 5 Head restraints in the seat when entering the vehicle) or if pressure is applied to a front seat correct position head restraint from the rear.
