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 collision.
•
Do not place items over the top of the Active
Head Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or
portable DVD players. These items may inter -
fere with the operation of the Active Head
Restraint in the event of a collision and could
result in serious injury or death.
•
Active Head Restraints may be deployed if
they are struck by an object such as a hand,
foot or loose cargo. To avoid accidental de-
ployment of the Active Head Restraint, en-
sure that all cargo is secured, as loose cargo
could contact the Active Head Restraint dur -
ing sudden stops. Failure to follow this warn-
ing could cause personal injury if the Active
Head Restraint is deployed.
NOTE:
For more information on properly adjusting and
positioning the head restraint, refer to “Head
Restraints” in “Getting To Know Your V ehicle.”
Resetting Active Head Restraints (AHR)
If the Active Head Restraints are triggered dur-
ing a collision, the front half of the head re-
straint will be extended forward and separated
from the rear half of the head restraint (See
Image). Do not drive your vehicle after the AHRs
have deployed. The head restraint must be reset
into the original position to best protect the
occupant for all types of collisions. An autho-
rized FCA US LLC dealer must reset the AHRs
on the driver’s and front passenger’s seat before
driving. Personally attempting to reset the AHRs
may result in damage to the AHRs that could
impair their function.
WARNING!
Deployed AHRs are not able to best protect
you in all types of collisions. Have deployed
AHRs reset by an authorized dealer immedi-
ately.
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS)
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on oth-
ers. If you are not sure, ask an authorized dealer .
The air bag system must be ready to protect you
in a collision. The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) monitors the internal circuits and inter-
connecting wiring associated with the electrical
Active Head Restraint (AHR) Deployed
