Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Maneuvering seats with memory
On a power seat, the backrest can be adjusted, the seat height can be altered and the seat can be moved forwards or backwards. There are four motors for moving the seat. The control buttons are on the outside of the seat and are in the shape of a small seat and a small backrest. There are two control buttons on each panel. The buttons are spring-loaded, so they must be held pressed in for the seat to move.
The seat can be maneuvered:
- Within a period of 9 minutes and 40 seconds of the door being opened
- Within 40 seconds of the door being closed
- With the key in the radio position
- With the ignition on.
