Default HELP! Headrest question?!

So, I sold my second gen Gs and bought a 3rd gen. I was playing around with my car and I realized, the driver's headrest can't be adjusted? Is this correct? Or am I just blind and slightly retarded?

you can only adjust it up and down. UP too far and it's OUT.

You know that its automatically raises and lowers, when you move the seat up and down with the seat.

Sometimes, some of the features are not so user friendly. I really wouldn't mind having to adjust the headrest manually. lol

You can, that is why the button is there lol The auto head restraint actually does a pretty accurate job of calculating where it should be, and it properly adjusts itself based on the current drivers seat position every time you change/move the seat. I know people may like the look of them all the way down, but it is really supposed to be directly behind your head so if you were to get into an accident, severe whiplash can be avoided. When the head restraint is all the way down, if you sit high in the seat, and the center of your head is higher than the head restraint, in the unfortunate event of a collision, your head can bend backwards over the head restraint, which can intensify injuries.

A'int nobody got time for that!
