it doesn't work. see, im getting different responses. you said push down, others saying there is a circle by the headrest which I have to push in order to have the headrest go down but its nowhere in sight. also, my rear seats have "motorized" headrest which go up and down with the push of a button so I don't see why the front shouldn't be the same and there isn't a button for that....... sigh...

Pole Position
It definitely should work to change the height of the headrest. Check the owner's manual for details. I can't remember, but the passenger headrest may also be powered. If it works, you have a broken motor or fuse.

- Age: 27
- General Location: TX
- Year and LS Model I own: 2013 F Sport
- The Moment I Knew I Just Had To Have An LS: After owning a 2013 ISF for 3 years, I wanted something more comfortable.
- Favorite Factory (OEM) Feature and Why: Mark Levinson
- Least Favorite OEM Feature and Why:
- If I Could Have One Aftermarket Mod Right Now, It Would Be: I already have Magnaflow catback exhaust
- What I Love About My LS The Most: It being an "old man car" makes me fly under the radar compared to the ISF. Also people let me in when I turn on my turn indicator at the last minute. With the F, I had to sieze it.
- What I Hate About My LS The Most: Could use more insulation, comfort, and power to compete against the S class. Indeed price would increase, but I would rather all this on a Lexus since.... reliability.... and they would do it right.
What I really want is the LS600h SWB F Sport that they have in Europe. I love the LS600HL, want F Sport tuned suspension, but I don't want the extra length

- Hobbies/Special Interests: Cars, History, Genealogy, Freemasonry, Volunteering, Tech gadgets
- How I Ended Up With My CL Username: Saw someone else with it on another board long ago and thought I'd go stealth - now I are one !
- Year and LS Model I own (want): own LS600h - bought for my father 5 or 6 years ago, but he had to stop driving......
- The Moment I Knew I Just Had To Have An LS: I remember when they first announced and, having a Prius, was impressed with the hybrid technology and the LED headlights. When it was time to get Dad an LS that he wanted I talked him into letting me get him a 600 so I could "inherit" it eventually :-P. He previously had a 1990 LS400 which he loved. He really loved the 600, and always volunteered to chauffeur his friends.
- Favorite Factory (OEM) Feature and Why: First car that I drove with Adaptive Cruise Control - have not bought a car since without it.
- Least Favorite OEM Feature and Why: The confirmation button on the NAV system.
- If I Could Have One Aftermarket Mod Right Now, It Would Be: Bluetooth Audio
- What I Love About My LS The Most: The ride and comfort, just makes you feel pampered, turns a bad day into a smile.
- What I Hate About My LS The Most: Nothing really, maybe that the cruise control max speed is low compared to my other cars, and no bluetooth audio yet
- The One Thing That Most People Don't Know About Me Is..: I'm a shy extrovert. at one time our family had 4 Lexus. I'm following the LC500h and LC FC (driving a Mirai now too). Oh - and I've put the 600hl up for sale on ebay :-) I can never stop at one thing :-)

- Year and LS Model I own (want): 2008 460 L (also have a 2002 RX300 AWD in the stable)
- The Moment I Knew I Just Had To Have An LS: Ten minutes into the test drive, I asked my wife where the nearest bank was.
- Favorite Factory (OEM) Feature and Why: Soft close doors, just because it's so freakin' cool!
- Least Favorite OEM Feature and Why: Being locked out of rolling up all the windows/sunroof via the remote "key"
- If I Could Have One Aftermarket Mod Right Now, It Would Be: Let me close the trunk from inside or via the remote
- What I Love About My LS The Most: It's a killer Q-ship
- What I Hate About My LS The Most: What the engine bay looks like with all the plastic removed...it's just not right, at all!
- The One Thing That Most People Don't Know About Me Is..: When leaving the parking lot at work, it's me with the Parliament/Funkadelic/Chic/EWF/Sister Sledge cranked with the windows open! Also, I know the lyrics to most pop songs from 1955-1992. I stopped listening to new music, mostly, after '92 (there are a few exceptions).
