hey all,

as the title suggests, is there a way to stop this from happening? it's rather annoying as a tall person to get into the front seat after it's been moved all the way forwards.

2015 S205 if that matters.

cheers

 

Do you have a coupe? It does not automatically in the coupes.

Also you can set your own options by using the Memory selection on the door panel.

 

Good point, S205 is wagon was it?

 

Well, there needs to be space for the rear seats to fold down. If the front seats are too far back, I assume the rear seats won't clear the front seats when trying to fold them down. I don't have much experience with the wagon and sedans, but there isn't all that much legroom in those if there's a tall person in the front.

Technically the coupe does it as well. In order to access the rear seats, one has to fold at least one of the front seats forward. At that point it moves down and forward to clear enough of an opening to get in. Then when folding the seat back it only moves as far back as it can. There's a sensor in the seat that detects an obstacle such as the knees of a rear passenger or the headrest of the folded rear seat and stops short of bumping into it. So a tall person may not be able to move the seat back far enough even in the coupe if the rear seats are folded down. Do the sedan and wagon have the split rear seats in AU, or is it a fixed bench? If so, then to avoid moving the driver seat forward, just fold down the passenger side rear seat only, and leave the driver side rear seat up.

 

I guess I will throw convertible into the mix as well since it seems to have the same behaviour (example from R232 SL).

 

the passenger seat is set at the exact same position as the drivers and it doesn't do it though?

i also don't have easy access activated or whatever it's called.

maybe there's a way to set the seat memory to stay in the original position?
