Seat Height

Picked up my 2025 GLS last night and only have 50 miles in it so far but driving home I believe the seat was at the highest setting and I still felt a bit low ..

Admittedly I am no basketball player @ 5'8 but seemed odd to need to raise the seat so high ...

I couldn't see the lower portion of the HUD ?

Anyone else have this issue - about to take a 4 hour drive so maybe I will figure it out ..

Thanks

You can adjust the HUD to be higher.

If you don't want to read through the manual, Google Nick O'Leary YouTube. He has a lot of informative videos.

You can also search on the MBUX - find owner's manual.
There is a search function with links to multiple sections, and you can save the search.

Look for "head up" not "heads up" because I think It means you can see the display with your head up.

As far as the hud goes, there are a ton of settings in a hidden menu that will allow you to customize it way beyond up/down and brightness. As far as the seat goes, I'm 6' and with the back of the seat cushion all the way up my head almost touches the ceiling which is way too high for me. I'm personally am a fan of the back all the way down, the front all the way up and the thigh pad fully extended. Max comfort and visibility. I am admittedly long torso'd however.
