Supplemental Active Head Restraints
(AHR)
These 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
head restraint will be split in two halves, with the
front half being soft foam and trim, the back half
being decorative plastic.
How The Active Head Restraints (AHR) Work
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
determines whether the severity or type of rear
impact will require the Active Head Restraints
(AHR) to deploy. If a rear impact requires
deployment, both the driver and front passenger
seat AHRs will be deployed.
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.
NOTE:
The Active Head Restraints (AHR) may or may not
deploy in the event of a front or side impact.
However, if during a front impact, a secondary rear
impact occurs, the AHR may deploy based on the
severity and type of the impact.

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 collision.
Do not place items over the top of the Active

Head Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or
portable DVD players. These items may inter-
fere 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.
NOTE:
For more information on properly adjusting and
positioning the head restraint, see Ú page 34.
