Just bought an XR AWD with 20K on it and have a couple of questions hoping someone may have an answer to.
Can't raise the second row bucket seat headrests, not sure if 3rd row raises because they fold when seat is down-Anyone had this problem? What to do? Also, I am getting horrible gas milage-10 mpg at this point granted I typically make really short trips (under 5 miles) during the day. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

my understanding is that the 2nd row headrest in the captains chairs and bench seats DO NOT raise or lower.
though some have been able to remove them to install baby seats.

as for MPG.
Reset your trip meter next time you gas up.
Make sure youre not running the recirculate button- as this also turns on the compressor.
winter fuel will give lower mileage.
make sure your in city driving - 1-2 shifts are in the 1800-2200 range.. 2-3 shifts are in the 2300 to 2500 range...

then let us know how this did.

Also suggest letting the engine fully warm before driving. I've noticed mine uses much more gas if I don't. On a 5 mile trip the engine could be still warming up half the way this time of year, depending on where you live.

You'll waste more gas warming up fully, than just completing that short commute.
Warming up 1 min should suffice.
