Since then they did a number of updates and fixed a few things that i suspect reset some computers. I managed to get my settings set memory wise, but can't figure out the auto-away or whatever it's called. I've read the manual (about 30 times) and it couldn't possibly be more confusing for this point. 
From my understanding, I just hold the "S" for the memory settings and then move the seat backwards....then let go of them both, but this didn't work when I tried it. Am I missing something, or do you have to move the seat all the way back while holding the buttons??
Any help would be appreciated!! |
Does your car have the EVIC? If so you can turn this feature on and off through the personal setting menu.
From the owners manual.....
"On vehicles equipped with an EVIC (Electronic
Vehicle Information Center — Optional), these functions
can be selected at the EVIC using the Personal Settings
(Customer Programmable Features). Refer to Electronic
Vehicle Information Center — Personal Settings for de-tails."
"Personal Settings (Customer Programmable
Features)
This allows the driver to set and recall features when the
transmission is in PARK.
Press and release the MENU button until Personal Set-tings
is displayed in the EVIC.
Use the SCROLL buttons to display one of the following
choices:" Goto Automatically Move Seat Back on Exit
"Automatically Move Seat Back on Exit (Available
with Memory Seat Only)
When ON is selected, the driver’s seat moves rearward 5
cm (2 inches) or to the farthest rearward position if this
distance is less than 5 cm (2 inches) when the key is
removed from the ignition switch so that the driver can
more easily exit the vehicle. The seat will return to the
memorized seat location (if Recall Memory with Remote
Key Unlock is set to ON) when the remote keyless entry
transmitter is used to unlock the door. Press and release
the FUNCTION SELECT button when in this display
until "ON" or "OFF" appears to make your selection."
