Driver Seat Issue
Hi all,
Got two issues with my driver seat:
1. When I fold the seat forward to get access to the rear seats and put the seat back in place, the car thinks it's still isn't secure. I usually have to try it a few times rigorously before the warning goes away and can use the electronics on it.
2. Probably as a result of point 1, but the seat is starting to get creaky.
Any fixes?
Thanks!

Reset seat
If you can get hold of a scanning tool reset the seats and this may fix the seat adjustment issue. I did this on mine and the whole seat reset and performed a forward, back, up, down etc motion and this reset any previous stored memories that’s were hindering seat movement.
