Supplemental Active Head
Restraints (AHR)
These 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 re-
straint. The head restraint will be split in two
halves, with the front half being soft foam and
trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
How the Active Head Restraints (AHR)
Work
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) de-
termines whether the severity, or type of rear
impact will require the Active Head Restraints
(AHR) to deploy. If a rear impact requires
deployment, both the driver and front passen-
ger seat AHRs will be deployed.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to minimize the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
designed to help prevent or reduce the extent
of injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts.
NOTE:
The Active Head Restraints (AHR) may or
may not deploy in the event of a front or side
impact. However if during a front impact, a
secondary rear impact occurs, the AHR may
deploy based on the severity and type of the
impact.
CAUTION!
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 an accident.
NOTE:
For more information on properly adjusting
and positioning the head restraint, refer to
“Adjusting Active Head Restraints” in “Un-
derstanding The Features Of Your Vehicle”.
Resetting Active Head Restraints (AHR)
If the Active Head Restraints are triggered in an
accident, you must reset the head restraint on
the driver’s and front passenger seat. You can
recognize when the Active Head Restraint has
been triggered by the fact that they have
moved forward (as shown in step three of the
resetting procedure).
1. Grasp the deployed AHR from the rear seat.
