HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce t he 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!
• All occupants, including the driver, should not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s
seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to mini-
mize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
• 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 seri-
ous injury or death in the event of a collision.
Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats
The driver and front 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 dealer 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 dealer.
