WARNING:

ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINT

Front seats

Head restraints supplement the other vehicle

safety systems. They may provide additional

protection against injury in certain rear end

collisions. Adjustable head restraints must be

adjusted properly, as specified in this section.

Check the adjustment after someone else

uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the

head restraint stalks or remove the head

restraint. Do not use the seat if the head

restraint has been removed. If the head

restraint was removed, reinstall and properly

adjust the head restraint before an occupant

uses the seating position. Failure to follow

these instructions can reduce the effective-

ness of the head restraint. This may increase

NON-ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINT

Adjustable head restraints have multiple

notches along the stalk to lock them in a

desired adjustment position.

The non-adjustable head restraints have a

single locking notch to secure them to the

seat frame.

Proper Adjustment:

— For the adjustable type, align the head

restraint so the center of your ear is

approximately level with the center of

the head restraint.

— If your ear position is still higher than the

recommended alignment, place the

head restraint at the highest position.

If the head restraint has been removed,

ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in

place before riding in that designated

WARNING:

Failure to adjust the head restraint prop-

erly may reduce the effectiveness of the

active head restraint. Always adjust the

head restraint as described earlier in this

section.

Lower

Do not attach anything to the head

restraint stalks. Doing so could impair

the active head restraint function.

Always wear seat belts. Active head

restraints are designed to supplement

other safety systems. No system can

prevent all injuries in any accident.

The active head restraint moves forward utiliz-

ing the force that the seatback receives from

the occupant in a rear-end collision. The move-

ment of the head restraint helps support the

front occupant’s head by reducing its back-

ward movement and helps absorb some of the

forces that may lead to whiplash type injuries.

Active head restraints are effective to provide

protection at low to medium speeds in which

whiplash injury seems to occur most.

SSS1036

To lower, push and hold the lock knob and

push the head restraint down.

Make sure the head restraint is positioned so

the lock knob is engaged in the notch before

riding in that designated seating position.

ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS (front seats)

Active head restraints operate only in certain

rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head

restraints return to their original positions.

Properly adjust the active head restraints as

described in the previous section.
