Sit in the car and lean back slightly to find a comfortable seating position. Using the adjustment button, align the softest part of the headrest to the back of your head, ensuring it is level with your head. Press the button located next to the two support rods of the seat headrest or on the side of the headrest to adjust the height up or down.

As an ordinary owner of an older BMW 5 Series, I'm very familiar with headrest adjustment. There's a small button on the side of the seat—just press it gently to move the headrest up or down. Adjusting it to the perfect height for your head is most comfortable, especially during long drives to reduce fatigue. Once I forgot to adjust it and felt neck discomfort during sudden braking, which made me realize its importance for safety—proper positioning protects your cervical spine in a collision. If the button gets stuck, simply wipe off dust with a cloth; don't force it to avoid damaging internal parts. BMW headrests are quite durable, but over time the button might stiffen. Regular maintenance helps, and avoid moisture corrosion on rainy days. Simple tricks like these keep your car in great condition.

What are the differences between KYB shock absorbers in blue, yellow, and black?

KYB's black shock absorbers are replacement parts for original equipment, and their tuning style is very similar to the original shocks. The yellow shock absorbers are short-stroke shocks, which must be used with shorter springs. KYB's yellow shock absorbers can lower the vehicle height. The blue shock absorbers are stiffer and provide better support, but they do not lower the vehicle height. If you want to use blue shock absorbers, they can be paired with the original springs. Below is some relevant information about shock absorbers: 1. The function of shock absorbers: To improve the wheel's contact with the ground, thereby enhancing traction. Better traction can improve both handling and safety. 2. Composition: Shock absorbers consist of a shock tube and a spring. The spring is the elastic element, and the shock tube provides damping.
