Seat Kinetics not on passenger seat

I find the Seat Kinetics to be just about worthless, anyhow.

I like the seat kinetics as well. On long highway drives it definitely helps you on long highway trips - much less stiff when getting out. I doubt it does much on short trips.

Same here. I took a trip to Canada and had it turned on. The movement is random and subtle but I found that I was not moving myself around in the seat as I would normally start to stiffen up. It's a nice feature. I am not aware of other vehicles that have this type of feature.

I activate it even on short trips. After a day at the office spent sitting down, it's nice to have the kinetic seats shift my butt a bit.

Energizing Seat Kinetics is a highly beneficial additional feature now included in the Memory Seat Package. The massage option is not necessary. If you have the Multi-Contour Seat option Seat Kinetics will also have lumbar movement.

However, It would be nice if it stayed active upon startup.

definitely agree it should stay active. Too beneficial not to. “Sitting is the new smoking “ and effects are cumulative

Re-programming will eliminate the passenger display capability.

Others experienced the same??? Thanks
