Main Menu Table Of Contents Seats Active Head Restraints Failure to reinstall the head restraints can result in severe injury during a crash. Always replace the head restraints before driving. This reduces the distance between the restraint and the occupant's head. It also helps protect the occupants against whiplash and injuries to the neck and upper spine. After a collision, the activated restraint should return to its normal position. If the restraints do not return to their normal position, or in the event of a severe collision, have the vehicle inspected by a Honda dealer. The driver's and front passenger's seats have active head restraints. If the vehicle is struck severely from the rear, the occupant properly secured with the seat belt will be pushed against the seat-back and the head restraint will automatically move forward. 124 2009 Ridgeline
