I saw a video on youtube of a guy using that lever on the side of the seat facing the door.. It made the back rest lean forward, then the whole seat automatically went forward to fit a person in the back.. Then when he clicked the backrest back, the seat went back to its origional position automatically.. MY CAR DOESN'T DO THIS? What the eff!! title was: 1997 acura cl - seat function

 

that funcion is on the passangers seat only
maybe your seat is broken

 

The video shows it on the drivers side.. How do i fix it? What is the problem?.. This feature is sweet

 

mine stops doing it sometimes. i think i usually tilt the seat forward and then move the seat all the way up. then tilt the seat back and it should slide back by it self.

you do have a power driver seat right?

 

when i slide the button up the back only moves forward, then when i push it back it goes back to my pre-determined setting. it doesnt slide forward at all

 

That's a premium feature, it's only for a power seat, the power leather seats do it, mine does it

 

Mine does it aswell..
Although I never use that feature of fear that it will get stuck again or something. Like the window regulators, power seats are known to be pretty fragile.. I would know.

 

i have a premium, with leather power seats and it doesnt do it? huh? is it only on the 3.0?

 

I make people get out my pass side :P

 

^^ same. much easier to slide and climb out.

I was thinking, maybe its an option on the 3.0's only?

 

Maybe, I don't know anything about it and I read through my entire owners manual.

 

yea i got the power seats.. the dude in the vid has an auto. shifter so the 3.0 only option seems plausable, but thats a rip off and 1/2.. i think its pimpin

whatt?.. i'd stop people from doing that and tell to get out my side lol

 

my driver seat doesnt slide up, only the backrest goes up. i could care less, I just make people use the passenger side.

 

My 3.0 CL (Prem) only had that function on the drivers side, so I assume its the norm.

 

yeah i think its safe to assume only the 3.0 premiums have the feature

 

Just another reason why the 3.0 pwns!

 

People love it....seriously this car is 12 years old?

 

5 gears > 4.


btw, hows that tranny? fried yet?

 

you're a sweetheart

 

Tranny is great! Shifts just as smooth as any other 12 year old car would, thanks for asking.

 

 

Damn.. Then I wanna be the first 2.2 with this mod.. Any suggestions, what to look for?.. Would the components needed be confined to the seat or would there be other things controlling it?

 

Hells Yesss!

 

I'll trade you my seat for ur 5-speed than.

I would think you need the whole thing but than who knows. Do you have power seats? I dont know how this works or at least I keep forgetting.

 

auto folding/unfolding seats > not auto folding/unfolding seats.

Just to be an asshole..

 

I like it, but for me I would have to have that much dimmer. I kno you're getting one. After thinking about it I think I'm going with white for everything. I impressed my 6" white neon held up over the very nasty winter we had up here.

 

.. yup, def. an asshole lol.. lights look cool though.. but wait, aren't you missing a pedal??





..... Oh I forgot

 

damn.. no one wants to rip out there seat and check? lol, guess everyone is gettin out the pass. side for now

 

people always get out the passenger seat in my car. no changing the seat position in my car!

 

it returns back to the last setting you had it when you push it back.

 

does it work the same on cars with basic trim? it never works for me. always goes back to having the seat all the way upright
