Active Head Restraints
The driver's and front passenger's
seats have active head restraints. If the
vehicle is struck severely from the rear,
the occupant properly secured with the
seat belt will be pushed against the
seat-back and the head restraint will
automatically move forward.
This reduces the distance between the
restraint and the occupant
’s head. It
also helps protect the occupants
against whiplash and injuries to the
neck and upper spine.
After a collision, the activated restraint
should return to its normal position.
If the restraints do not return to their
normal position, or in the event of a
severe collision, have the vehicle
inspected by a Honda dealer.
For a head restraint system to work
properly:
●
Do not hang any items on the head
restraints, or from the restraint
legs.
● Do not place any object between
an occupant and the seat-back.
● Install each restraint in its proper
location.
●
Only use genuine Honda
replacement head restraints.
