Resetting activated head restraints

triggered in a rear-end collision, the active
head restraints must be reset. Otherwise,
the active head restraints cannot offer
any additional protection in the event of
another rear-end collision.
You can tell that the active head restraints
have been activated when they have been
moved forward and cannot be adjusted.
