Tuesday Quick Tip: How to Configure Memory Seats
How do I set up my memory seats? is a question that many customers have, as we discovered after speaking with our delivery specialist, Andrea. You might even be curious about the function of the memory seats. The memory seat feature allows you to click a button and to change your seat and mirrors to your chosen comfortable position, here’s how it works:
1. Sit behind the wheel
2. Change the seat and mirrors to your preferred positions.
3. Locate your set, 1, and 2 buttons.
4. Continue pressing “set” until you hear a beep.
5. Continue holding down the desired number until you hear two beeps that correspond to your position.
6. Now every time you get into your car click the preset you chose
7. As you see in the video, your seats and mirrors will adjust to your preferences.

Hello, today I will demonstrate how to configure your memory seats. The buttons on my Acadia Denali are situated here. We must first configure our mirrors, seats, and, if available, the motorized steering wheel and pedals. After everything is ready, you will examine your buttons. Press “set” until you hear one beep, then “hold” the number until you hear two beeps. The current setting for your seat is 1.
Your memory chairs may be set up in a matter of seconds. Additionally, it greatly simplifies things, particularly if you have multiple drivers. Now, when you get into your car, all you have to do is push the predetermined number, and your seat, mirrors, and perhaps pedals and the steering wheel, adjust to your comfort and desire. To purchase a vehicle with a memory seat, be sure to go to Markquart Motors of Eau Claire!
I drive a brand-new 2010 135i convertible with power seats and the premium pack, but not comfort access. According to what I understand, the driver’s seat and the mirrors should return to the setting from the last time that remote or FOB was used.
I’ve previously done a search on this subject, read everything I can find, and followed the owners handbook, but I must be missing something.
As instructed on page 41 of my manual, I first entered the setup screen and changed the memory settings to activate the memory when the door is unlocked. Additionally, I programmed positions 1 for my wife and 2 for myself using the memory seat button.
I also tried the method where I “set” the memory, got out of the car, and then locked the door. Nothing is currently functional. In my last 325i, I simply had to unlock the door, and the seat would adjust to the user’s preferences.
While I’m also perplexed by the seat memory settings, is it feasible that the motor must be running in order to store the settings (like it does with the CA garage opener)?
You must configure the fob in the computer for the seats to recognize it and return to the last setting. The auto lock, 3X blinker, and other settings may all be accessed in the same location. When you come across the key sign with the checkmark, scroll through the available choices. It is the final option in my 2010; it resembles a box with a seat’s profile view inside of it. The setting is off by default.
I’ve already modified it in that menu to “adjust upon opening of the door” and “adjust upon unlocking of the door,” but neither option permits the FOB to initiate a seat adjustment. Tomorrow, I’ll give my dealer a call. I’m sure someone has figured this out by now. Everyone must have responded as the car has been available for a while.
Yes, I believed that I had also set the seat memory to 1 to 2, but I will check everything again later. The automobile is driven by my wife, so I merely play with it at night and other times.
Today after work, when I was getting into the 135i to wash it, I noticed that the seat and mirrors responded and moved to their positions as soon as I pressed the unlock button on the FOB.
Therefore, it’s possible that it had something to do with the earlier remarks I read mentioning the need to lock the doors AFTER driving the vehicle and arranging the seats. The automobile was locked and unlocked five days in a row since my wife drove it all week.
Since I did nothing else and it now functions properly, it was probably working all along; I just neglected to switch between her FOB and mine while the car was being driven, locked, and unlocked, etc.
How does a memory seat function?
An electrically adjustable vehicle seat that can be adjusted into pre-programmed settings at the touch of a button is essentially what a memory seat is.
Although a standard electric car seat currently allows the driver to modify its position and height to a comfortable position, if they share the car with another driver, they would probably need to do so regularly.
It can take some time and effort to get the seat back into its ideal position because some electric car seats have a large number of adjustments.
By allowing the user to memorize the position the seat is in at any one time using a number of nearby buttons, a memory seat can eliminate this inconvenience. The buttons are typically located on the driver’s door or close to it on the center console. Most memory-seat equipped vehicles can save up to three locations, although some can only save two.
So, for someone who rides in a vehicle with at least one other person, memory seating is a very alluring alternative. A driver can simply select one of the pre-set settings they’ve created to fast become comfortable behind the wheel if the seat isn’t set up the way they like it anymore when they get in their car.
As previously stated, you are most likely to encounter memory seating in high-end brand vehicles because it is typically exceedingly challenging or nearly impossible to purchase aftermarket memory seats for vehicles.
How can I alter the settings for the seats in my BMW?
Both your safety and comfort depend on you driving in the proper position. Simply pull and hold the lever under the front of the seat, slide to the desired position, and release to move forward or backward. The seat base’s angle can be changed by pulling the lever located at the seat’s front corner. The height is adjusted using the side of the seat’s most forward lever. Use your body to add or remove pressure as necessary as you lift yourself up. A second lever, located behind the first, regulates the backrest’s angle. Hold the lever up once more as you find the ideal position, then let go. The backrest’s breadth can then be changed by pressing and holding the small toggle button in either way.
How can I configure my seat’s exit memory?
Depending on the vehicle, click the “Vehicle” button, followed by the “Seating Position” or “Comfort and Convenience” buttons. Select “Seat Exit Memory Options” and then “On” or “Off” to turn the feature on or off.
A seat memory system: what is it?
If available, memory chairs allow you to save and recall your favorite seat position. Other items, such the steering wheel, outside mirrors, Head-Up Display (HUD), or Power Sliding Console, might also be adjustable (PSC). How to save and remember your settings is shown below.
The Seat Memory buttons allow up to two drivers to program memory settings; the settings are synced with each key fob for the car. When the car is started, the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display the driver number that the key fob belongs to.
The system will stop displaying the notice once you have started and stopped the car many times using the same key fob.
As you set preferences, be sure to keep the other key fob outside the car.
When the key fob is inside the car, the gearshift is in PARK, and the car is in Power/ON or ACCESSORY mode:
- Whether the car recognizes key fob 1 or 2, the Driver Information Center will display this information.
- To the desired locations, adjust the steering column’s tilt and telescoping, outside mirrors, and driver seat. (To find out which memory features are available, check your car’s information.)
- Release the SET button after pressing it. There will be a beep.
- Press and hold Memory button 1 or 2, depending on the fob number you saw in the DIC, as soon as you release the SET button. To verify that the seat position was set, you will hear two beeps.
The seats and other memory features will return to their pre-stored settings after being set when:
- The appropriate Memory button is depressed.
- The car is switched on. (The chairs and other features will adjust to the key fob that is being used.) Note: You must enable Auto Memory Recall (see below).
You can modify your memory settings to give greater room when getting out of the car.
- Your seat, steering wheel, and mirrors should all be adjusted so that you have comfortable clearance.
- Press and hold the EXIT button for a brief period of time until you hear two beeps.
- The seat exit positions will be the same for both drivers because they are connected to the car as a whole rather than a specific key fob.
When you open the driver’s door and turn off the ignition, your memory features will automatically move to the Exit position. Note: You must enable Easy Exit (see below).
