Active Head Restraints
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats have active head restraints. In a rear
impact, an occupant properly secured by a seat belt will be pushed against the
seat-back and the head restraint will move forward. This reduces the distance
between the restraint and the occupant’s head, which helps reduce the likelihood
of whiplash and injuries to the neck and upper spine.
Active Head Restraints
In order for the active head restraints to operate
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.
•
After a collision, the activated restraint should
return to its normal position. If the restraint does
not return to its normal position, or in the event of
a severe collision, have the vehicle inspected by a
dealer.
