Default ‘21+ power seat positions

I’m 5’10”. I had liked sitting low in my 2023 IS350.
But I found that it is better to sit higher for visibility.
While I was playing with the settings, I noticed that
the seat is not restricted from hitting the roof.
I have the headrest all the way down, but it contacts the roof when I tried to raise it to where I want it. I don’t know if the motor shuts off when there is resistance. Strange that the seat will actually get
wedged at the roof. Anyone else notice this?

Yup I noticed that as well. Not great if you move the seat forward and back since you’ll rub on the headliner

I am 5'10"... or 5'11" on a good day.

I have the seat as low as it will go, and I can see perfectly fine.

What kind of recline are you running on the seat? Maybe reclining just a little would help you not impact the headrest...

Thanks!

I like to see the top of the hood or even down the hood.
And you have the swollen hood to see over on the 500😀.
I think I now have a compromise. High enough and not hitting.
I was more surprised about the design that would even allow the
headrest to hit the headliner.
