WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing is dangerous.The sudden movement
of the seat could cause you to lose control.Adjust
any seat only while the vehicle is parked.
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!
The head restraints for all occupants
must be properly adjusted prior to oper-
ating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head re-
straints should never be adjusted while the ve-
hicle 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.
Active Head Restraints (AHR) — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable compo-
nents, and vehicles with this equipment can not 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.
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. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Safety” for further informa-
tion.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head
restraint. To lower the head restraint, press the push
button, located at the base of the head restraint, and
push downward on the head restraint. (fig. 23)
