Headrest
Ok, stupid question so forgive me in advance but how come every time you move the seat forward or back, the headrest automatically goes up? Just because I move the seat doesn't mean that I want the headrest adjusted also.

It is over engineered. When you move the seat back it assumes a taller driver will sit on the seat so it moves the head rest up. But, as you say it moves it up also when you move the seat closer, which does not make sense at all. Mine does the same thing.

Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one that just doesn't get it. Especially when you move the seat forward. If the headrest goes up when you move the seat backwards then it should go down when you move it forwards. Actually, in my opinion it shouldn't move at all unless you move it yourself using the control.

Maybe they corrected it for 2014 because it really makes no sense the way it works in my 2012. If you have a passenger in the passenger seat and they are trying to get the seat adjusted to fit them, by the time they are done moving the seat back and forward and maybe back a little more, the headrest is all the way up to the roof!!
