WARNING!
(Continued)
restraints are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event
of a collision.
• 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 opera-
tion of the Active Head Restraint in the event of a
collision and could result in serious injury or death.
•
Active Head Restraints may be deployed if they are
struck by an object such as a hand, foot or loose
cargo. To avoid accidental deployment of the Active
Head Restraint ensure that all cargo is secured, as
loose cargo could contact the Active Head Restraint
during sudden stops. Failure to follow this warning
could cause personal injury if the Active Head Re-
straint is deployed.
NOTE: For more information on properly adjusting and
positioning the head restraint, refer to “Supplemental
Active Head Restraints” in “Getting To Know Your Ve-
hicle.”
Resetting Active Head Restraints (AHR)
If the Active Head Restraints are triggered during a collision,
the front half of the head restraint will be extended forward
and separated from the rear half of the head restraint (see
image). Do not drive your vehicle after the AHRs have
deployed. The head restraint must be reset into the original
position to best protect the occupant for all types of collisions.
An authorized FCA US LLC dealer must reset the AHRs on the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat before driving. Personally
attempting to reset the AHRs may result in damage to the
AHRs that could impair their function.
