How to Adjust the Headrest of BMW 530li?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the headrest of BMW 530li is: press the button on the backrest, push it upwards to raise the headrest and push it downwards to lower it. Besides improving driving comfort, the car seat headrest also plays a protective role. To better protect the head, it is necessary to adjust the height of the car headrest properly. Taking the BMW 5 Series 2021 Modified 525Li Luxury Package as an example: it is a mid-to-large-sized car with a length, width, and height of 5106mm, 1868mm, and 1500mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 3105mm. The front suspension adopts a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension also uses a double-wishbone independent suspension.
I've been driving a BMW 530Li for almost three years, and adjusting the headrest is something I can do with my eyes closed. Once you're seated comfortably in the car, just reach out and feel the metal rods on both sides of the headrest. There's a plastic button on top of each rod. Remember, you must press both buttons simultaneously—you'll hear a click as the spring releases, and then you can simply lift or push the headrest up or down. Once adjusted to the desired position, release the buttons, and the headrest will automatically lock in place. Initially, I often made the mistake of pressing only one button, which left the headrest stuck halfway—pretty awkward. For optimal comfort, I recommend aligning the center of the headrest with the back of your head; this prevents neck strain during long drives. Regularly adjusting the headrest height is actually very helpful in preventing cervical spine issues, especially for those of us who frequently drive on highways. Also, when washing the car, be careful not to let foam accumulate in the button gaps, as it can cause sticking.
