WARNING!
• All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s eat until the head 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 op-
eration 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 acci-
dental deployment of the Active Head
Restraint, ensure that all cargo is se-
cured, 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 Restraint is deployed.
NOTE:
For more information on properly adjusting
and positioning the head restraint, refer to
“Active Head Restraints” in “Getting To
Know Your Vehicle.”
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 sepa-
rated from the rear half of the head restraint.
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 autho-
rized 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.
WARNING!
Deployed AHRs are not able to best protect
you in all types of collisions. Have de-
ployed AHRs reset by an authorized dealer
immediately.
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS)
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on
others. If you are not sure, ask your autho-
rized dealer.
