Question Anyone with Power seats and Multicontour seats?

Anyone with Power seats and Multicontour seats?
I have a question. If you set your car to the easy entry and egress feature, does your seat still move back when you want to get out?
The dealership told me that if you have Multicontour seats, the easy exit feature doesnt work for your car and i am starting to get this sinking feeling that that may not be the case.

Yes, the easy egress/entry feature does work. At least it does on my 01 C240. I am assuming that you are talking about when you take the key out of the slot - the seat moves all the way back in order for easy exit and when you put the key into the slot the seat goes to your preset position? Yes, mine does work with the multifunction/power options. I dont know why not?

Thanks for the response.
This just adds to my suspicion that this was a gradual failure that they did not want to admit when i took delivery of the car.

I agree...I would definitely have it checked out and fixed. Regardless of the multifunction feature, the seat should move back and reset. Sometimes you wonder what the dealer is thinking when they tell you all this BS - you know?

don't know if the seat moves back with the multicontur seat, but it does move back with the regular 8 or 10 way adjustable power seat. But i don't use it anymore, i find it useless, and it will shorten the life of my power seat.

It will only move back to a set distance, so if you are a tall driver and your seat is already at or beyond that distance the seat will not move back any more. The steering wheel will move up though.
