ACTIVE HEADREST RESET PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin provides instructions on how reset the "Active Headrests" on the Genesis Sedan (BH) after they have deployed.
VEHICLES AFFECTED:
Model: GENESIS SEDAN (BH) with Active Headrests
Model Year: 2009 to Present
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
1. Remove the headrest from the vehicle by removing the retaining clip just below the right side headrest post base using a small screw driver or pick tool. Lift up and remove the headrest by pressing the release button on the left side headrest post. Be sure not to lose the retaining clip. Re-adjusting the seat back maybe required to remove the headrest.
2. Position the headrest on a flat surface with the head support side facing downward.
3. Locate 2 locking springs (A) on the left and right sides of the active headrest mechanism. Using your fingers, unlock the springs by pushing inward while applying downward pressure with your hands on the back of the headrest.
4. Guide the back of the headrest downward (a left to right rocking motion may be required) until the back of the head rest is almost in full contact with the forward portion of the headrest. At this point, keep applying pressure downward to the back of the headrest until a click is heard or felt. Slightly release pressure to see if the head rest is locked into position.
5. A high amount of force downward and in the center may be required to fully secure the headrest.
6. Test to ensure that the active headrest is fully secured by lightly tapping the back of the head rest on a flat surface. If the head rest is not fully secure the head rest will release. In this case - repeat steps 2-6.
