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!

• All occupants, including the driver, should not oper-

ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head

restraints are placed in their proper positions in

order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event

of a crash.

Folded Rear Seats

•

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.

WARNING!

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the

seatback. This could impair visibility or become a

dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or 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 for-

ward minimizing the gap between the back of the occu-

pant’s head and the Reactive Head Restraint.

occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow re-

moved head restraints in a location outside the

occupant compartment.
