Front Headrests In/Out

OK, either I was dreaming but I swear I was able at one time to move the headrest front padding individually forward/backward with seat controls. Now for the life of me I can't remember how. (and I know its not that rocker switch on the top back seat controls)

Nope, with multi-contour seats you could manually adjust the sides of the pads, or move the top hinge part of the seat. Without multi-contour seats, you could move the headrest forward/back, but they don't have the ability to adjust the top half of the seat.

Ha! I do believe that headrest does move forward or back as you adjust that top hinge, so you might have seen it in a moving in such a manor, or resulting in a position where it looked more forward on one side than the other. It's just not something you could control independently.

This +1.

Multi-contour head restraints are fixed except electronic height adjustment and manual adjustments of the head restraint side extensions.

The standard 481 Sport seats on the 40i have manual fore-aft adjustment and electronic height.
