Since there are TWO seat control modules for the driver's side...the illustration shows the one that has ALL the options. When you look at the part nbr index...there should be a listing for the module that has COMFORT SEATS (option code S456A)...those seats DO have electric headrests plus an upper articulating back that is controlled by that extra button you don't have. Again, the illustration shows the control module for the comfort seats with electric headrests & upper articulating back...but when you look down at the part nbr index...that's where the explanation is that asks if you have the comfort seat option or not.

Its a no win situation for the illustrator...if they show the seat module without the headrest button...then those with the comfort seats would have the complaint that their control module isn't drawn in the illustration. So instead of drawing two control modules with memory seat buttons...one with the electric headrest & upper articulating back and the one without...they provide text in the supplemental column of the part nbr index to explain the differences for the various configurations.
