GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 21
NOTE:
Do not reposition the head restraint 180 degrees
to the incorrect position in an attempt to gain
additional clearance to the back of the head.
Rear Head Restraint Adjustment
The rear seats are equipped with adjustable
head restraints, the outboard head restraints
have two comfort positions, while the central
head restraint has to be used in the raised posi-
tion. When there are no occupants in the center
seat, the head restraint can be lowered for
maximum visibility for the driver. When the
center seat is being occupied, the head
restraint has to be in the raised position.
To raise the outboard head restraints, pull
upward on the head restraint. To lower the head
restraints, push the adjustment button located
at the base of the head restraint, and push
downward on the head restraint.

Front Head Restraint Removal
The head restraints should only be removed by
qualified technicians, for service purposes only.
If either of the head restraints require removal,
see an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the occupant
compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled
in the vehicle to properly protect the occu-
pants. Follow the re-installation instructions
above prior to operating the vehicle or occu-
pying a seat.
Do not place items over the top of the Reac-
tive Head Restraint, such as coats, seat
covers or portable DVD players. These items
may interfere with the operation of the Reac-
tive Head Restraint in the event of a collision
and could result in serious injury or death.
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 minimize 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 serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.
