FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINTS
WARNING
. Always adjust the head restraints prop-
erly as specified in the previous section.
Failure to do so can reduce the effec-
tiveness of the Active Head Restraint.
. Active Head Restraints are designed to
supplement other safety systems. Al-
ways wear seat belts. No system can
prevent all injuries in any accident.
. Do not attach anything to the head
restraint stalks. Doing so could impair
Active Head Restraint function.
The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback re-
ceives from the occupant in a rear-end
collision. The movement of the head
restraint helps support the occupant’s
head by reducing its backward movement
and helping absorb some of the forces that
may lead to whiplash type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for
collisions at low to medium speeds in
which it is said that whiplash injury occurs
most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in
certain rear-end collisions. After the colli-
sion, the head restraints return to their
original positions.
Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints
as described in the previous section.
