Headrests Settings ...

Hi All - Is there a way to disable headrests to automatically rise whenever rear seat passengers buckle up?

My daughters are too young to be needing those headrests.

Thanks in advance!!

Only one idea comes to my mind: ask your daughter to take the rear seat.

If she is too short for the headrest, she would either need a booster seat or not use the front seat at all.

The question is about the rear seat headrests. How do you disable the rear seat headrests from automatically rising when you buckle-up?

I would try taking it to the dealer and having them reprogram the car via their computers to keep the headrests lowered. Other than that, if your daughter gets in and buckles up, you could always click the rear headrest button on the center console.

Obviously, clicking the button is too much work.
