question on folding middle row seat down, passenger side...

I could be getting this confused with the sedan we have, but I seem to recall... when folding the middle row seat down and the front passenger seat is too far back, isn't the front passenger seat supposed to move forward automatically? It does not do this now, I could have sworn it did. The sedan does, but I thought the GL did also.

Thanks,

Bryan

Mine does, but I think I saw in the manual it says something like if the front passenger seat has memory function (which is not standard), then it will move forward when the 2nd row is folded.

Thanks, I have P1 and memory seats ...

I will have to check it out and see if I can figure out if it is something dumb that I am not doing.

Like you said originally: "If the front passenger seat is too far back" it automatically moves forward. Won't happen if it is already forward.

If, when it IS back, and the R middle row seat is released (lower lever), the front seat DOESN'T move forward - see your dealer service dept! The memory function may come into play when the middle row seat is back up and latched: without memory function you may have to manually push the button to move the seat back to near its original position.

I do love that the COMAND system actually warns me when that seat's not latched. I wonder how much it's going to cost me to replace that little sensor?
