Head Rest: Testing and Inspection
Front Seat Active Head Restraint Inspection
NOTE: If the vehicle has been in a collision, always inspect the active head restraint, even if they appear reusable, by doing the following procedure.
1. With the recline switch, move the seat-back fully forward.
2. Apply masking tape on the top of the head restraint.
3. Make marks (A) on both sides at 255 mm (10.0 in.) upward from the roots of the head restraint frame (B) along the back of the head restraint (C)
surface. Make a center of these points as a datum point (D).
4. Push the head restraint (A) forward, and using a scale, measure the level amount of the head restraint movement. The head restraint should move
more than 50 mm (2.0 in.) without resistance. If it is less than 50 mm (2.0 in.), or the head restraint doesn't move smoothly, replace the seat frame.
