Drivers seat programming to access behnd drivers seat

I have a 2004 R230 where the drivers seat back will not lean forward when the button is pushed on top of the seat back to access the back. Passenger seat works fine. The drivers seat will move to another memory position but not tilt forward. How do I reprogram the seat back to lean/move forward?

Thank you. Could not find it in the manual or in the forum’s link. Too simple but not intuitive.
