Active Head Restraint
The active head restraint is designed to move forward and upward in a rear impact. This helps prevent the head of the driver and front passenger from moving rearward, which helps minimize neck injuries.
WARNING
A gap may appear between the seat and the head restraint release button when sitting on the seat or when pushing or pulling the seat. Be careful not to get your finger, etc. caught in the gap.
