30 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Plastic Grocery Bag Retainer Hooks
Retainer hooks which will hold plastic grocery
bag handles are built into the seatbacks of all
rear seats and some front seats. The floor
supports the partial weight of the bagged
goods.
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.
Supplemental Active Head Restraints —
Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings,
only through visual inspection of the head
restraint. The Active Head Restraints (AHR) will
be split in two halves, with the front half being
soft foam and trim, the back half being
decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to reduce the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
design to reduce the risk of injury to the driver
or front passenger in certain types of rear
impacts. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in
“Safety” for further information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the
head restraint. To lower the head restraint,
push the adjustment button, located at the
base of the head restraint, and push downward
on the head restraint.
Adjustment Button
For comfort, the Active Head Restraints can be
tilted forward and rearward. To tilt the head
restraint closer to the back of your head, pull
forward on the bottom of the head restraint.
Push rearward on the bottom of the head
restraint to move the head restraint away from
your head.
Active Head Restraint (Normal Position)
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.
