are not adjustable forward or backward, only up and down. An active

the gap between your head and the headrest (to prevent whiplash).

upward. Move the lever downward to decrease
lumbar support.

will press into the front seatback. In order to remove the
headrest from the rear seat, the seatback needs to be
tilted slightly forward.
