WARNING!

(Continued)

Do not use the Automatic Locking Mode to restrain

occupants who are wearing the seat belt or children
who are using booster seats. The locked mode is
only used to install rear-facing or forward-facing
child restraints that have a harness for restraining
the child.

Supplemental Active Head Restraints (AHR)
These head restraints are passive, deployable compo-

nents, and vehicles with this equipment cannot be readily

identified by any markings, only through visual inspec-

tion 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 sever-

ity and type of the impact.
