HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear-impact
.
Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the
head restraint is located above the top of your ear
.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be properly adjusted prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat
.
Head restraints should never be adjusted while the vehicle
is in motion
.
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision
.
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
.
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:
The head restraints should only be removed by qualified technicians, for service purposes
only
.
If either of the head restraints require removal, see your authorized dealership
.
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 Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players
.
These items may interfere with the opera-
tion of the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of a collision and could result in
serious injury or death
