MEMORY SEAT BUTTONS
Recent purchase of new 2015 SL400. Is there any way to re-set the computer so the seat buttons are tap instead of push and hold?
Thanks for any suggestions

Nope. Germans view that as a security/accident risk as you could press them while driving and crash the car if a setting (for a smaller person for example) would inhibit you from steering/braking, etc.

That's what the dealer told me at the delivery. I was hoping there was a work around. How difficult would it have been for them to stop the tap feature once the car was moving. Not too bright!

Risk - Take a couple; 6'3" guy and a 5'2" wife. Pressing the wrong button can crush the guy.
Complexity - You can add sensors to the seat that could recognize obstacles. Will work fine but adds costs and another potential of maintenance/failure.
Plus a sensor to recognize if the car is in drive...
