Press the height adjustment button of the headrest while using the car's mechanical key to press against the groove on the side of the plastic part at the lower end of the other metal support rod of the headrest, then pull the headrest upward with force. Here is some related information about the Jetta VS5: 1. Introduction: The Jetta VS5 is the first SUV model under the Jetta brand. Its front face adopts Volkswagen's X design elements, extending bidirectionally to the engine hood and lower grille. The side body lines continue Volkswagen's design language, running through the entire body. 2. Features: The Jetta VS5 is built on Volkswagen's most advanced MQB A1 platform, equipped with the EA211 1.4T 110KW engine shared with Volkswagen and Audi models, paired with the MQ250 manual transmission and Aisin AQ250 six-speed automatic transmission. The new car comes with core features such as front MacPherson independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, ESP electronic stability system, and ACC adaptive cruise control. It also includes the KESSY smart keyless entry system + 5th generation intelligent online anti-theft system, a smart multifunctional trip computer, and telematics functions.
Removing the rear headrests of the Jetta VS5 is actually quite simple. I've done it myself often as I frequently work on car repairs. Locate the base of the headrest, where it connects to the seat back—there's usually a small button or a clip slot. Press the button firmly while steadily pulling the headrest upward. Be decisive but avoid yanking it forcefully to prevent damaging the plastic clips. If the button is hard to press, you can use a small flathead screwdriver or a key to assist in pushing it. A quick reminder: make sure the car is parked before doing this, as operating while driving can be distracting and dangerous. After removal, it's easier to clean the seats or install child seats. When reinstalling, align the slots and gently press the headrest back in until you hear a click. Always prioritize safety—if unsure, refer to the owner's manual.
