Chevrolet 2012 Malibu Owner's Manual page 33

On some models, the head restraint
can be adjusted forward and
rearward. To adjust the head
restraint forward, grasp the head
restraint at the bottom and pull
forward to the desired locked
position. To adjust the head restraint
rearward, grasp the head restraint at
the bottom and pull forward fully
until the mechanism releases and
allows the head restraint to return to
the full rear position.
The front seat outboard head
restraints are not designed to
be removed.
Rear Seats
The vehicle's rear seat has
adjustable head restraints in all
three seating positions.
The height of the head restraint can
be adjusted. Pull the head restraint
up to raise it. Try to move the head
restraint to make sure that it is
locked in place.
To lower the head restraint, press
the button, located on the top of the
seat backrest, and push the head
restraint down.
Seats and Restraints
Try to move the head restraint after
the button is released to make sure
that it is locked in place.
Rear head restraints are not
designed to be removed.
Active Head Restraints
The vehicle has an active head
restraint system in the front seating
positions. These automatically tilt
forward to reduce the risk of
neck injury if the vehicle is hit
from behind.
