I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the passenger headrest in the XV is tilted forward while all the others are straight (at least in mine). It's driving me crazy trying to figure out why it's just that one. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone else even notice it?

You do know you can adjust the tilt, right?

Hehehe.... I remember this issue. When I first saw the car in the lot. At very first glance, it almost looks like some kind of design flaw. But then I was like... Really? Who tilts the headrest forward until it becomes a neck brace?! Lol... The salesman laughed and fiddled with it to get it to the right position. No issues at all since as mentioned, they are adjustable.

All good!

just pull it all the way forward and it will kick back

Haha, I remember the feeling. The drivers was all the way forward when I got in for the test drive and I was pretty confused at first.

Why do the headrests tilt so far forward, anyway? I was thinking maybe your sleepy and you need help holding your head straight... Cause that sounds like they would make a headrest tilt option for that.

I don't have my Crosstrek yet, but I believe the Crosstrek has "Active Head Restraints". They move forward if you get hit from behind to prevent whiplash.

See what it says here, near the bottom of the page... http://drive2.subaru.com/Spr06_Feature.htm

There's something funny going on with my headrests.

As everyone has said, just push it all the way forward and it will snap back to default state, then you can fine tune from there.

No reason to be embarrassed. I've never encountered a car with that type of headrest either myself.

I found it out by accident because I had never seen it before, either. Not a dumb question!
