Passenger seat position

Hey y'all

One thing I've noticed with my car is the passenger seat base position does not go very forward. In the pictures this is at its most forward position, is this normal?
Since the front passenger has a lot more legroom than actually needed and the rear passenger sitting directly behind it can feel a bit cramped. The driver seat goes so much more further than the passenger seat. I've checked the tracks to ensure nothing is blocking it.

EDIT: Unrelated- I have the memory package, is there a way to change the driver seat positioning when taking the key out?

There is an option in the center cluster display to make the seat move back and raise the steering column when the key is removed. The seat doesn't move all the way to it's rear limit, though, so if you already sit further back than the easy exit function would move the seat, only the steering column will move. It's under the settings->convenience menu.

The passenger seat should move pretty far forward, it may just need it's limits reset. I believe that has to be done through Star?

I took a more thorough look at the tracks and noticed there were two coins in there, which may have been affecting the movement, I've managed to take them out, I 'think' the seat is able to move more forward, but I should have taken a clearer reference point
