Active Headrest Removal
The Highlander hybrid is equipped with active headrests, located
in both front seatbacks. The active headrests are mechanical
non-pyrotechnic head supports that are designed to reduce neck
injuries in the event of a rear collision.
Active headrest removal procedure:
To remove the active headrest, squeeze the left headrest lock
button (see illustration) located on the top of the seat, insert a
flat head screwdriver into the right hand release slot and lift
the headrest up and out (2008 - 2010 Models).
To remove the active headrest, squeeze the headrest lock
button and pull the headrest up and out (2011 Model).
Headrest Removal (Second and Optional Third Row)
The headrests for the outer second row seats can be removed
using the same process as described above for the front
headrests (2008 - 2010 Models).
The headrests for the outer second row seats can be removed
by squeezing the headrest lock button and pulling the
headrest up and out (2011 Model).
The headrest for the second row center seat can be removed
in a conventional manner by squeezing the lock button and
lifting the headrest up and out (All Models).
The forward folding headrests for the optional third row seat are
not removable.
NOTE:
The Highlander hybrid may be equipped with an optional
electrochromic auto dimming rear view mirror. The mirror
contains a minimal amount of transparent gel sealed between two
glass plates that will not normally leak.
