Find a comfortable sitting position where the distance between your head and the car headrest is as small as possible. The smaller the distance, the greater the buffering effect. Use the adjustment button to align the softest part of the car headrest with the back of your head, level with your head. Press and hold the button to adjust the height up and down.

Adjusting the headrest height in an Audi is so convenient! I've driven several Audi models like the A4 and Q5, and the headrest adjustment buttons are all located near the top of the seat back. You just need to find that small button, press and hold it, then the headrest can move freely up and down. Push up to raise it, press down to lower it. Release the button to lock it in position. Personally, I prefer setting it slightly above the center of the back of my head—this prevents neck fatigue during long drives and also protects the cervical spine in case of rear-end collisions. Button positions may vary slightly across different models, but the basic operation remains the same. Audi's design is truly thoughtful—just a few simple steps to get it done. Remember to test a few positions to find the most comfortable height before locking it in.

I think adjusting the headrest is a must-do small task before driving an Audi. The steps are super simple: reach behind the seat to find the release button, press and hold it to raise or lower the headrest. Release the button to lock it in place. This is very important because the correct height can reduce the risk of injury in an accident. I've checked the data, and not adjusting the headrest properly may lead to cervical spine fractures during a collision. So, I always make sure the center of the headrest is parallel to the top of my head. For most Audi models, the button is located at the top center of the seat, and the operation takes just a few seconds. Developing this habit makes driving safer and more comfortable.

The first time I drove an Audi, I didn't know how to adjust the headrest either. Later, I found buttons above the backrest—just press and hold to slide the headrest up or down. I prefer setting it to a position where I can lean back naturally, with the height aligned with my earlobes. The design is simple and intuitive, and the adjustment takes just seconds. Remember to test it when changing seats or before driving to ensure it suits your height.
