Active Front Seat Head Restraints - Volkswagen 2004 Jetta Introduction Manual

Active Front Seat Head Restraints

The new Jetta is equipped with active head
restraints on the front seat. During a
collision, as the occupant is pressed back
into the seat, the head restraint is activated
and moves forward and down to minimize
head and neck injuries. At the same time
that the head restraint is activated, the
lumbar support moves forward to provide
additional protection from injury. This is a
completely mechanical system that
requires no electronics.
