Active Head Restraint - Installation

INSTALLATION - ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (AHR)

WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any component diagnosis or service of the front seats, when equipped with front seat air bags. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Improper installation of the headrests may result in reduced protection of the occupants. If, after installation, the headrest can be removed, without simultaneously pressing the buttons on the master and slave guide sleeves, then the head restraint is installed incorrectly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
