Supplemental Active Head Restraints
(AHR) — Front Seats
Supplemental Active Head Restraints are pas-
sive, deployable components, and vehicles with
this equipment can not be readily identified by
any markings, only through visual inspection of
the head restraint. The head restraint will be
split in two halves, with the front half being soft
foam and trim, the back half being decorative
plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to minimize the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of
injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts. Refer to “Occu-
pant Restraint Systems” in “Safety” in your
Owner's Manual for further information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the
head restraint. To lower the head restraint, push
the adjustment button, located at the base of
the head restraint, and push downward on the
head restraint.
For comfort, the Active Head Restraints can be
tilted forward and backward. To tilt the head
restraint closer to the back of your head, pull
forward on the bottom of the head restraint.
Push rearward on the bottom of the head re-
straint to move the head restraint away from
your head.
