How to Adjust the Headrest Height on a BMW Seat?
2 Answers
Adjust the button on the backrest by pushing it downward—note, it must be pushed downward. To raise the headrest, push it upward. This button allows for four-directional adjustment: forward, backward, up, and down. The height of the car headrest should align with the head to effectively protect the head and neck. Adjust it according to the height of the driver or passenger.
As a BMW owner, I remember being curious about how to adjust the headrest up and down when I first got the car. It's actually super simple and practical. Every BMW's rear or driver's seat headrest has a small button or release lever at the base. Just sit in the seat, reach one hand behind to press it, while gently pushing or pulling the headrest with the other hand to slide it up or down to your desired height. At first, I thought this design was too subtle, but it works incredibly smoothly. After adjusting, long drives don't leave my neck sore. Safety-wise, it's especially important to position the headrest at the middle of your head to prevent whiplash in case of sudden braking or minor accidents. I recommend new owners try different angles during their first adjustment. BMW seats are ergonomically designed overall, including adjustable backrest tilt, making it a habit to drive with greater peace of mind.
