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.
