GTS, GTC, GTR seat limit switch
One of my biggest complaints about the GT is the stupid seat limit switch that automatically adjusts the seat back as the seat moves rearward. I have never seen anything like this in a sports car before. Does anyone know if or how to disable/override this feature. I am MORE than capable of not driving my seatback into the rear firewall without M-B’s attempt to save me from myself.

The alternative to this would be one of the cars I HAD on my short list of possible cars to buy when I got the GTC. So if you go sit in a Jaguar F TYPE convertible you can adjust the seat back so it literally jams up to the rollover hoops behind the seat. So if you let the seat stay that way you can rest assured those parts will wear prematurely, with the GT this wont happen because of the limit settings you talk about.
The fact that the seats in that car do this was one of the BIG reasons I checked the NO box for the F Type. To me that was NOT an acceptable trait in a $150,000+ car (SVR). Perhaps the 2020 does not do this anymore, at least I would hope.

The thing that is most irritating about it is that there is a good 3-4 inches of travel remaining when the limit switch activates and automatically slides the seat forward. I’m hoping someone on the board will know how to defeat this switch.
