Pretty sure that is a safety consideration in case the seat moves too close or too far away from the pedals. If someone jacks up your memory setting and all of a sudden you are humping the steering wheel while driving that could spell disaster.

You know, I was thinking the same thing this morning. I am pretty **** about having both my drivers seat and my passenger seat adjusted the same, and so when someone sits on my passenger seat and start messing with the controls I have to lean way over and HOLD onto the memory button to make it back to the way I like it (after they leave of course)
Very, very annoying.

Think about it... If you're obese and require the seat to be a certain distance from the steering wheel without your belly smashing in to it... If the seat/wheel auto adjusted way too close that could be very painful and problematic. Not everyone in this world are the same size and all need to be accounted for.

All your original post said is this: "I can't believe its normal to have to hold the button until your setting is adjusted. Crazy. My lexus is one touch and its so nice."
Am I missing something? I'm pretty sure most late models allow you to program the remote to match your settings. Most models also have a convenience entry feature which automatically moves the steering wheel up and the seat back to allow for easy entry.

One touch - no going back if you hit the wrong button - that is why I think this is a safety thing. Imagine a 6.5 tall man being squashed and having to be extricated by the "Feuerwehr" because the rental Mercedes he is unfamilar with has brought his seat forward. There are many people who are not famililar with the electronics of cars and have no clue. These people do not post on forums...

What I would like is a one-touch button that requires you to press it for a period of time (lets say 3-5 seconds) before it auto-adjusts, not just by pressing it for less than one second. Is that the way it is with Lexus? Now that would be a good idea...

I don't mind holding down the button for 2-seconds, non-issue for me.
Not sure when they fixed this, but I'm sure glad the preset radio stations can be changed on the steering wheel.
On 2006 E55, presets could not cycled through on steering wheel...now that suuuucked!! I didnt' realize there were soooo many Hispanic stations in Los Angeles.

Resistance to what? Being too close to the wheel??

I think Los Angeles is one of the highest Hispanic populated cities in the USA!
