HELP, seat won't pull back after turning off...

Hi, Sorry, the title is kinda weird, but didn't know hot to explain my situation.

Yesterday I basically did a system restore to factory setting (via the guadge cluster panel). And now everytime i turn off the car it won't pull back the seat/ stearing wheel to let you out of the car like it used to.

basically what i'm trying to say is, the car used to let you get out of the seat much easier after you pulled the key out, but now it just stays on Memory1 position.

Thats because you reset the factory settings, go back into you cluster and reprogram the seat and steering wheel to move when the key is released, you will have to also select "yes" for your passenger side parking mirror to adjust when you put the car in reverse.

Where at in the settings is the programming of the seat and steering wheel?

As of MY06, w211 models lost the ability to program the seat and only the steering wheel remains for the easy entry/exit feature. Your manual lists activation instructions.
