Push down on the head restraint
after the button is released to make
sure that it is locked in place.

The head restraints are not
designed to be removed.

Always raise the rear center head
rest at least one position when there
is a passenger seated there.

Active Head Restraint System

The vehicle has an active head
restraint system in the front seating
positions. These automatically tilt
forward to reduce the risk of
neck injury if the vehicle is hit
from behind.
