Acura 2009 MDX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 147)

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 an Acura 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 Acura
replacement head restraints.
