Active Headrests ?

Mar 05, 2010 2 Replies

I believe the new Elantra, besides all the airbags, has these "active headrests" that activate in case of a crash.



What is the purpose of these, and how do they function to prevent whip lash ? Have never had a car with them.



Thanks, Bob


They move forward to keep your head in an upright position. There is information in the manual about them.

I didn't know active head restraints had been implemented in the Elantra. That's really good news.
