Seat Position

Weird thing- Occasioanlly when I return to the car the seat has moved UP toward the wheel, much closer than I left it. As I open the door it stays put. If I reach in or get in and stick in the key- it returns to the programmed position-

Any one else with this oddity ?

Lucky you............mine starts going to my wife's position when I am driving it and take the key out.......trapping me in a position that I need to hit my memory button to get out.......this is on my list for the first MB service fix.

That's not an oddity its a feature, you can turn it off with the menu system on the steering wheel.

Norb- Not sure I understand it as a feature- I undersatnd how it moves back if set to do so, but that only works when in an advanced position. Why do I want it to move forward ? I guess if I understand your comment better it may help me at least figure why or what I want to do about it.

I don't remember the details of setting steering wheel and/or seat movement after the ignition is turned off--and I am not about to try it on my own car, since it is working OK and I wouldn't want to jeopardize that--but it might solve the problem if Marksatex shuts off the feature with respect to seat movement.
