FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINTS

WARNING

. Always adjust the head restraints

properly as specified in this section.
Failure to do so can reduce the
effectiveness of the Active Head
Restraint.

. Active Head Restraints are designed

to supplement other safety systems.
Always wear seat belts. No system
can prevent all injuries in any acci-
dent.

. Do not attach anything to the head

restraint stalks. Doing so could
impair Active Head Restraint func-
tion.

The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback receives
from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The
movement of the head restraint helps support
the occupant’s head by reducing its backward
movement and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash type injuries.

Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is said
that whiplash injury occurs most.

Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original positions.

Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints as
described in this section.
