Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats
The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with Reactive Head Restraints
.
In the
event of a rear impact the Reactive Head Restraints will automatically extend forward
minimizing the gap between the back of the occupant's head and the Reactive Head Re-
straint
.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint
.
To lower the head re-
straint, push the adjustment button located at the base of the head restraint, and push
downward on the head restraint
.
To remove the head restraint, raise it as far as it can go then push the adjustment button,
and the release button at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint up
.
To
reinstall the head restraint, put the head restraint posts into the holes and push down-
ward
.
Then adjust it to the appropriate height
.
The Reactive Head Restraints will automatically return to their normal position following a
rear impact
.
If the Reactive Head Restraints do not return to their normal position, see
your authorized dealership immediately
.
NOTE:
Do not reposition the head restraint 180 degrees to the incorrect position in an attempt
to gain additional clearance to the back of the head
.
WARNING!
•
A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could cause seri-
ous injury or death to occupants of the vehicle
.
Always securely stow removed
head restraints in a location outside the occupant compartment

ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants

Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat

•
Do not place items over the top of the Active Head Restraint, such as coats, seat
covers or portable DVD players

These items may interfere with the operation of
the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of a collision and could result in serious
injury or death
