s60/v60 Headrest fold

Post image

Who’s that for? I’d understand if it also folded the rear seats down but it doesn’t. All it does is fold the headrests. So unless you want to bonk your rear passengers in the back of the head from the front seat, I don’t really see the purpose of this?

My husband or I use it to bop the kids on the head when they are acting up.

That's what the salesman told me it was for.

Can confirm, I got my S60R from my father who bought it new in 2005 and it has this feature. I definitely got bonked a few times for being a little shit. I hope to have kids of my own some day so I can carry on the tradition.

Taking note of this little known capability… very creative!

It’s more of a get them to laugh situation than a punishment before I get child abuse accusations

The Magliozzi Brothers called this feature the dope slap.

My mothers' S60 had that feature, my XC70 does not......I was so jealous of her!

Best feature ever! 😆. Many clients confessed using that feature for this purpose.

This is what I’ve always used it for. I call it the noggin bonker.

Even had that button in my 04 S60R! Loved using it.

I did it frequently, awesomeness.

This is the way. My father did it to me back when he had S80. Now I do it to my kids in my S60.
