active headrest

[gtbigup01]

hey guys question for ya. What is the difference between the active headrest and,(for lack of a better word) inactive headrest?

Nissans Active front headrests actually lean forward a bit during a collision. It's supposed to help in whiplash situations because your head doesn't travel as far to hit the headrest. Does it work?....who knows.

we have the headrests that you cannot lean your head on!!! Personally I think they suck, but my wife says you shouldnt be leaning your head on the headrest anyway!!

So are the '04's "Active"...and yes, you cannot lean your head on them.

It appears that it is new in '05 and comes along with taller seats....DAMNIT. I could really use the taller seats actually.

Sarkazm is right, google is a wonderful thing

04 = not active. I wonder if you can actually rest your head on the 05's, anybody able to test this????

why can't you lean your head back on them? i do. feels like most of the headrests i've owed before.

the worst i had was on a honda. the kind that has a big hole in the middle. those were completely unusable.

My headrest is about 8 inches behind my head...totally useless. I keep my seat way back when I drive and this happens to me in most cars that dont let the top of the headrest tilt like my Jag XJ8
