Front-seat Active Head Restraints

The Active Head Restraint moves forward utiliz-

ing the force that the seatback receives from the

occupant in a rear-end collision. The movement

of the head restraint helps support the occu-

pant’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 collisions

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 position.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as

described in this section.
