You know when you let somebody in, my chairs don't seem to automatically retract everytime. Is it a matter of timing? I tried figuring out when it should move and look for patterns, but can't figure it out! Shouldn't it move everytime? Please help. thanks.

Seat position programmed? Remote unlock auto adjustment enabled?

make sure ur car is in park

If someone pushed the buttons on the side it will stop, and if it doesn't go into place all the way it wont move either.

I have people complain about the seats every single time they get in.

make sure after lifting the plastic handle you give the seatback a firm frontward swing till you hear a faint click. this ensures the motor switch is actuated. once you are use to it you'll be able to tell if you did it right or must do over. you cannot move the passenger seat forward from the drivers seat if the passenger door is closed. the mechanism is a little tricky but much quicker than other car brands.

I think I know what you mean. You flip the seat up to let people in and sometimes it won't automatically slide forward. Sometimes it won't slide automatically back into its original spot. I've also been puzzled by this.

YOUR CAR NEEDS TO BE IN PARK

GreenMonster

The car's computer needs to see certain things before the memory seats will work. On the 6spd the parking brake needs to be set. Just having it in gear won't do it.

Achance

I figured that out last week, and i've had the car for 2 years.

the worst is when you use that switch to move the drivers seat forward to get something out of the back...then when you put the seat back in position it goes all the way up to the steering wheel.

anyone know what I am talking about.

Didn't know the 6 speed had to have the parking brake on. Mine have stopped going back a few times, but I can never do it on purpose. I think it's just the way the seat is sometimes with some positions.

Chaptorial

As far as when you pull the lever to make the seat come forward for people to get in the back, make sure the switch isn't caught up on the seat belt. This has happened to me more then once and it won't let the seat come forward or go back.

Easy solution -- get two extra doors.

If the brake lite on the dash is lit, then the computer "sees" the parking brake is set. No light. No workie. That's what the Acura tech told me (after he plugged in the electrical connector for the parking brake). I had problems with my memory seats not working 'cause the parking brake wasn't connected electrically. Someone at the factory either didn't plug it in, or didn't plug it in all the way and it came undone during shipping (some settling of contents may have occurred during shipping )

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I have a related question:

Why do the memory seat presets seem to disappear once in awhile? I don't disconnect the battery or clear them manually...

tmk70

I never had that problem with my CL-S....

Chaptorial

I've had my car for over a year now and ever since then i've been using the #1 setting to get in and #2 setting to drive method. Hasn't reset itself since day 1.

I had my car for almost 2.5 years b/f I realized the car had to be in PARK for the passenger seat to move automatically. I always thought the thing was just tempermental.

Smitty

yes, but this is the case ONLY if the car is RUNNING.

on another note.

I noticed if I slide someone in the passen. Side rear then push the seat back... if the passen. in the back pushes on the seat it will stop from coming back any further.. or if the passenger jumps in before the seat goes back all the way the seat will stop... SO I would imagine there is a resistance feature built into the auto seat positioner..

Chaptorial

Yeah there is. The same thing happens if the seatbelt gets caught on the switch and tugs on the seat as it moves forward. The seat ends up just stopping in its place.

Kinda like the power window safety feature i guess. However the seats don't exactly move with great speed that they'd be causing much damage anyway.

Smitty

is that on both windows or just the drivers side?... I never tried it...

Chaptorial

When i get home i'll give em both a full test.

jriga

On mine, if someone gets out of the car and closes the door before the seat has moved back into position fully, the seat stops and must manually be moved back. ?

lol man im confused.. just use the damn car.. its not that big of a deal.
