Active headrest

The active headrest is designed to move forward and upward during a rear impact. This helps prevent the driver's and front passenger’s heads from moving backward which helps minimize neck injuries.

WARNING

A gap between the seat and the headrest release button may appear when sitting on the seat or when you push or pull the seat. Be careful not to get your finger, etc. caught in the gap.
