Claim 8:
9. A method for adjusting a position of a center console armrest, the armrest comprising a base member configured for mounting to a floor, an extending member mechanically coupled to the base member, an armrest mechanically coupled to the extending member, and a pivot axis pivotably coupling the extending member to the base member, the method comprising:
actuating a release mechanism via a release lever disposed on an underside of the armrest, wherein the extending member comprises an inner telescoping member and an outer telescoping member, and the release mechanism releases the inner telescoping member for sliding within the outer telescoping member;
adjusting a height of the armrest by raising or lowering the inner telescoping member with respect to the outer telescoping member when the release mechanism is actuated; and
rotating the armrest between a deployed orientation and a stowed orientation via the pivot axis.
